>I don't understand how can we use them for the cursor made updatable using technique similar to Vlad's blog. In other words, there is no INSERT command, the changes are done in the cursor, then we do TABLEUPDATE. Then we need to get the ID back. How can we do this?

I don't know Vlad's blog. Ask him.
