Hi,
I've written a function using cursors as follows:
can anyone please comment on the text in red.


------------------------------------------------------

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION sp_insert_tbl_email_address(int4, text, text, text)
  RETURNS void AS
$BODY$
    DECLARE
    uid int4 ;
    src text;
    local text;
    domain text;
    cur_dup_check CURSOR FOR SELECT * FROM tbl_email_address
    WHERE unmask_id=$1 and source=$2 and email_local=$3 and email_domain=$4;
   
   
BEGIN
   
    OPEN cur_dup_check ;
   
    FETCH cur_dup_check INTO uid,src,local,domain;
 --need to check the fetch status of the cursor whether any rows were returned or not and keep moving to the next record till fetch status is not zero
