Keyset Cursors (Level 2)

Installing SQL Server

Installing SQL Server
Keyset Cursors (Level 2)
SQL Server 6.x SQL Server 2000
When using a keyset cursor, a row deletion followed by a row insertion using the same key as the deleted row caused the inserted row to occupy the slot of the original row. When using a keyset cursor, a row deletion followed by a row insertion with the same key as the deleted row allows the original row to remain empty and the newly inserted row to be inserted at the end.

Expect different results as compared to earlier versions of SQL Server. Expect a change in behavior when inserting and deleting rows with the same key values when using keyset cursors.
