Are you sure about this?  Because, if you have to iterate
through .fetchall()  (for example), then the cursor isn't
actually an iterable object, the result of fetchall() is
(it's a list, which is iterable), same goes for fetchmany();
BUT, if you iterate over the results of fetchone() then
you're gonna do a columnwise iteration over a single row.

:-)

So... anyone... do cursors have an __iter__() method?
I don't have a DB module at hand to check it out...
