SQL 2000 Partitioned View Works Fine, But CURSOR With FOR UPDATE Fails To Declare

This one has me stumped.

I created an updateable partioned view of a very large table. Now I get an error when I attempt to declare a CURSOR that SELECTs from the view, and a FOR UPDATE argument is in the declaration.

There error generated is:

Server: Msg 16957, Level 16, State 4, Line 3

FOR UPDATE cannot be specified on a READ ONLY cursor



Here is the cursor declaration:



declare some_cursor CURSOR

for

select *

from part_view

FOR UPDATE



Any ideas, guys? Thanks in advance for knocking your head against this one.

PS: Since I tested the updateability of the view there are no issues with primary keys, uniqueness, or indexes missing. Also, unfortunately, the dreaded cursor is requried, so set based alternatives are not an option - it's from within Peoplesoft.
