I am involved in a discussion of the pros & cons of Prepared Statements
and Cursors. Clearly I am over my head.

What are the strengths/weaknesses of these two solutions? Which do you
prefer?

You can prepare a statement with a cursor, so the two aren't mutually
exclusive. Are you asking about prepared vs static statements, or cursor
vs. one record selects?
