Cannot specify both READ_ONLY and FOR READ ONLY on a cursor declaration.

Consequences:
The SQL statement cannot be parsed and further execution is stopped.

Resolution:

Example(s):
USE Northwind
GO
DECLARE myCursor CURSOR READ_ONLY FOR
SELECT *
  FROM Northwind.dbo.Orders

FETCH NEXT FROM myCursor
DEALLOCATE myCursor

In the above example we try to declare a cursor with both options set. This raises the error.
