Thank you, again. Your approach of using SET RELATION works very well.
Actually I don't even need to convert the array to cursor. Because the calling procedure was converting a cursor to an array (in order for me to pass the array). Now I will be updating the TARGET (you call it SOURCE ) cursor directly from the SOURCE cursor (that I was converting to the array).
I am sure my message is very confusing to all except to me :)
