A cursor in SQLite is not the same as a cursor in other databases. In this context, we are working in Python and communicating with a SQLite database. Here it is related to the Python database API. However, even if you are working with another type of database, you should still create a cursor in your Python code.

With a cursor, we can go through tables row by row. A cursor is like a pointer to a row. In Python we can use a loop to go through a chunk of a table.
