Vs Cursor 12.0 Extended

Introduction

• Limited theming integration – Some custom VS Code themes override cursor colors, requiring manual tweaks.
• No smooth scrolling support – The trail effect stutters slightly when using smooth scroll extensions.
• Overkill for most users – If you don’t present code often or have vision issues, the extra features feel unnecessary.

Legacy Cursor:

Scenario: Iterating over a live IoT_sensor_data table while inserts occur simultaneously. 5,000 rows/sec – frequent deadlocks. VS Cursor 12.0 Extended: 42,000 rows/sec – zero deadlocks due to time-travel reads.

When Not to Use VS Cursor 12.0 Extended

1. Small datasets (< 10,000 rows): The overhead of setting up parallel threads exceeds the benefit. Use a simple WHILE loop or set-based operation.
2. Highly volatile tables with READ UNCOMMITTED: Time-travel reads add a microsecond of version checking. Not worth it for dirty reads.
3. Linked server queries: The extended cursor does not push down parallel threads to remote servers.

The "extended" part might imply that this cursor feature has additional functionality or capabilities beyond the standard cursor features. Introduction
