Scenario: A data analyst needs to generate reports from a DB2 database that involve traversing result sets in both forward and backward directions. How can they achieve this efficiently using cursors in DB2?

Scrollable cursors would be the most efficient choice for traversing result sets in both forward and backward directions. Scrollable cursors allow data to be accessed in any direction (forward or backward) and at any row within the result set, providing the flexibility needed for efficient navigation during report generation. Unlike forward-only cursors, scrollable cursors enable bidirectional movement through the result set without the need to re-query the database.
