450 Error in Code
On page 450 of Professional SQL Server 2005 Programming, there begins a code block that is an improper carry forward from the 2000 edition of the book. The discussion is valid, and the results shown are from the proper code (as opposed to the code shown in the book).
Correct code:
USE AdventureWorks

/* Build the table that we'll be playing with this time */
SELECT SalesOrderID, CustomerID
INTO CursorTable
FROM Sales.SalesOrderHeader
WHERE SalesOrderID BETWEEN 43661 AND 43665

-- Declare our cursor
DECLARE CursorTest CURSOR
GLOBAL -- So we can manipulate it outside the batch
SCROLL -- So we can scroll back and see the changes
KEYSET
TYPE_WARNING
FOR
SELECT SalesOrderID, CustomerID
FROM CursorTable

-- Declare our two holding variables
DECLARE @SalesOrderID int
DECLARE @CustomerID varchar(5)
-- Get the cursor open and the first record fetched
OPEN CursorTest
FETCH NEXT FROM CursorTest INTO @SalesOrderID, @CustomerID
-- Now loop through them all
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS=0
BEGIN
PRINT CAST(@SalesOrderID AS varchar) + ' ' + CAST
(@CustomerID AS varchar)
FETCH NEXT FROM CursorTest INTO @SalesOrderID, @CustomerID
END
-- Now it's time to clean up after ourselves
CLOSE CursorTest

DEALLOCATE CursorTest

DROP TABLE CursorTable
