This document discusses PL/SQL transactions and cursors. It defines a transaction as a series of related SQL statements that are treated as a logical unit by Oracle. Transactions are committed or rolled back. Cursors allow processing of multiple rows of data from a table. There are implicit cursors used by Oracle internally and explicit cursors that are declared and opened in a PL/SQL block to process data row by row. The document provides examples of using transactions with commit, rollback, and savepoints as well as examples of using implicit and explicit cursors.
