-- Variables related to cursor:
-- 1. 'done' will be used to check if all the rows in the cursor
-- have been read
-- 2. 'curComm' will be the cursor: it will fetch each row
-- 3. The 'continue' handler will update the 'done' variable
declare done int default false;
declare curComm cursor for

declare continue handler for not found -- This handler will be executed if no row is found in the cursor (for example, if all rows have been read).

-- rowset.

-- When you fetch a row from the cursor, the data from the current
-- row is read into the variables, and the cursor advances to the
-- next row. If there's no next row, the 'continue handler for not found'
-- will set the 'done' variable to 'TRUE'
