Do you know of a technique that will create a collection of objects where each object in the collection represents a row from a cursor?

Basically, it would be like scattering a cursor to a collection of objects.

Example:

select * from ChildAlias;
where fkey=ParentAlias.pkey;
into cursor csrChildRecords

Then, (pseudo code):

scatter Cursor csrChildRecords to Collection collectionChildRecords

or a method call like CreateCollectionFromCursor('CursorName', 'CollectionName')

where the method would have a do/while loop that will create a collection, and then add an object to the collection for each row in the cursor.

Have you seen thee need or application of such an approach?
