RE: Explicit cursor and Select into statement
 
Explicit cursor- They are defined by programmer.

The select statement can return multiple rows as a query result. If you want to process single row at a time then you can define an explicit cursor for this select statement.

Cursor is  like a temporary area where you can process fetch the records and process then individually as required

select into statement-
select value1,value2... into var1,var2......
