The document discusses using a cursor for loop in PL/SQL to iterate through records from a database query and display student data. It provides the syntax for a cursor for loop, an example PL/SQL block that declares a cursor selecting from a student table and uses a cursor for loop to output each student's roll number, name, and city, and advantages of the cursor for loop such as automatic opening, fetching, and closing of the cursor.

LOOP.LOOP.
 Whenever the cursor For loop is used, the
cursor is not required to be opened,
records fetched, or closed explicitly.
 These operations are done automatically.
 The first time control enters the loop, the
cursor is opened and the first record is
fetched.
 For subsequent iterations in the loop the
next records are fetched one by one.
 After the last fetch the cursor is closed
and control comes out the loop. 5
