Controls whether cursors that have not been declared as updatable can be updated.
ON, OFF
OFF
Can be set temporary, for an individual connection, for a group, or PUBLIC. Does not require DBA permissions. Takes effect immediately.
When the FORCE_UPDATABLE_CURSORS option is ON, cursors which have not been declared as updatable can be updated. This option allows updatable cursors to be used in front-end applications without specifying the FOR UPDATE clause of the DECLARE CURSOR statement.
Sybase does not recommend the use of the FORCE_UPDATABLE_CURSORS option unless absolutely necessary.
