title: Alternative to cursors in SYBASE?
body: <p>Say i'm dealing with 10 library cards, each card has customer values (eg. member number, member name ...) and I need to update a value for each card.</p>
  
  <p>If i want to grab all ten from the database but only want to update each row one at a time, is there an alternative to a cursor? I know a while loop might work but how would I be able to grab one row every time it loops until I am done with all 10 cards?</p>
