Zusammenfassung
A cursor is a data access object that can be used either to iterate through the set of rows in a table or to insert new rows into a table. Cursors have three forms: search, insert, or update. Cursors are commonly used to read and update attributes.
Methodenübersicht
| Methode | Erläuterung | 
| deleteRow (row) | Deletes a row in the database. The row corresponding to the current position of the cursor will be deleted. | 
| insertRow (row) | Inserts a new row into the database. | 
| newRow () | Creates an empty row object. | 
| next () | Returns the next object at the current index. | 
| reset () | Sets the current enumeration index (used by the next method) back to the first element. | 
| updateRow (row) | The updateRow method can be used to update the row at the current position of an update cursor. |

Codebeispiel
Cursor example 1
Use search cursor to view field values in row.
import arcpy
# Set the workspace
arcpy.env.workspace = "c:/base/data.gdb"
# Create the search cursor
cursor = arcpy.SearchCursor("roads", '"TYPE" <> 4')
# Iterate through the rows in the cursor
for row in cursor:
    print("Name: {0},  CFCC code: {1}".format(row.NAME, row.CFCC))
del cursor, row
Cursor example 2
Use an update cursor to change field values in rows.
import arcpy
# Set the workspace
arcpy.env.workspace = "c:/base/data.gdb"
# Create the update cursor
cursor = arcpy.UpdateCursor("roads")
# Update the road buffer distance field based on road type.
#   Road type is either 1,2,3,4  Distance is in meters.
for row in cursor:
    row.setValue("BUFFER_DIST", row.getValue("TYPE") * 100)
    cursor.updateRow(row)
# Delete cursor and row objects
del cursor, row
Cursor example 3
Use an insert cursor to create new rows in table.
import datetime
import arcpy
# Create insert cursor for table
cursor = arcpy.InsertCursor("c:/base/data.gdb/roads_maint")
# Create 25 new rows. Set default values on distance and CFCC code
for i in range(1000, 1025):
    row = cursor.newRow()
    row.setValue('rowid', i)
    row.setValue('distance', 100)
    row.setValue('CFCC', 'A10')
    row.setValue('LastInsp', datetime.datetime.now())
    cursor.insertRow(row)
# Delete cursor and row objects
del cursor, row
