Well, sometimes my cursor has columns that I do not want to display in the grid (primary keys and foreign keys and other data that I just don't want to show).

Plus, I may also want calculated columns, like (total = qty * price) (rate = laborcost / labor hrs). The columns required to do the calculations are in the cursor, but not the total or rate columns. I could add them to the sql , but who knows if this is good or not, if you do not have access to change SQL query.
