Hi,
I have this cursor
declare x cursor for
select a,b
from d

OPEN x
FETCH NEXT FROM x INTO @OBJ,@OBJTYPE
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
begin
set @UPDATE='update d'+'set m '+'='+''''aa''''
EXEC sp_executesql @UPDATE
FETCH NEXT FROM x INTO @OBJ,@OBJTYPE
end
CLOSE x
DEALLOCATE x

And I have this error - A cursor with the name x already exist.

Which is the problem?

Thanks

You must have run your code and received an error so it aborted. So CLOSE x and DEALLOCATE x have not run. So just run those two lines of code, then try running the entire thing again.

Not sure why you think you need a cursor and dynamic SQL for this though.
