Is it possible to put the returned record set of a stored procedure into a cursor.
I have dynamically created a sql statement which is being executed by the EXEC sp_executeSQL, but I wish to put the results into a cursor so that I can scroll through them.
It is possible to insert the results into a temporary table, but being able to put them in a cursor would save me some work.

Solution 1

Create a temp table (CREATE TABLE #cursname...) or cursor (DECLARE @cursname CURSOR for...)

Then use something like

INSERT INTO #cursname 
EXEC sp_executeSQL

[edit]
Just realized I mixed temp table and cursor.
