how to fetch selected rows without using scrollable cursors?

That would be the FETCH statement.

mahesh666, what exactly do you want to do?

If you have a query returning multiple rows, the cursor is needed.

If you want to 'scan' through the cursor from top to bottom, then a standard cursor with Fetch (as Andy pointed out) works.

However, if you want to go back and forth through the result set, then you need a scrollable cursor.
