To add on to Erland's response, APIs that use client cursors often require
that each row have a unique column(s) (e.g. primary key) in order to be
updatable. This is because an UPDATE statement is generated under the
covers and the generated WHERE clause needs to specify values that uniquely
identify the row to be updated. Make sure all tables have a primary key.
