This document discusses stored procedures, cursors, and transactions in SQL. It defines a stored procedure as a set of SQL statements stored on a server that allows for variables, flow control, and other programming techniques. Cursors are used to iterate through rows returned by a query and process each row. Transactions ensure that all SQL statements execute successfully or are rolled back if any fail, providing atomicity, consistency, isolation, and durability (ACID properties). Examples are provided for creating and using stored procedures, cursors, and transactions.
