Cursor in Plsql: When we execute sql query. The records fetched from sql query, information about sql query is stored in context memory area in oracle. so in order to access each record row by row we use cursors.

Procedure: A subprogram is program unit / module that performs a particular task these sub-programs are combined to form larger program.

Yes we can use cursors in procedure.

Package consists of multiple functions or procedures.
