Multiple cursors in nested loops in MySQL

I wish to do something which appear a bit complicated in MySQL. In fact, I wish to open a cursor, do a loop, and in this
loop, open a second cursor using the data from the previous fetch to be executed, and re-loop on the results.
DECLARE idind INT;
DECLARE idcrit INT;
DECLARE idindid INT;
DECLARE done INT DEFAULT 0;
DECLARE done2 INT DEFAULT 0;
DECLARE curIndicateur CURSOR FOR SELECT id_indicateur FROM indicateur;
DECLARE curCritereIndicateur CURSOR FOR SELECT C.id_critere FROM critere C where
C.id_indicateur=idind;
DECLARE CONTINUE HANDLER FOR SQLSTATE '02000' SET done = 1;
set idindid=54;
OPEN curIndicateur;
REPEAT
FETCH curIndicateur INTO idind;
open curCritereIndicateur;
REPEAT
FETCH curCritereIndicateur INTO idcrit;
INSERT INTO SLA_DEMANDE_STATUS (iddemande,idindicateur,indicateur_status,progression)
values('0009',idcrit,'OK',10.0);
UNTIL done END REPEAT;
close curCritereIndicateur;
UNTIL done END REPEAT;
CLOSE curIndicateur;

You need to define a new BLOCK inside your 1st cursor loop and use different Declares in that block.
BLOCK1: begin
declare v_col1 int;
declare no_more_rows boolean1 := FALSE;
declare cursor1 cursor for
select col1
from MyTable;
declare continue handler for not found
set no_more_rows1 := TRUE;
open cursor1;
LOOP1: loop
fetch cursor1
into v_col1;
if no_more_rows1 then
close cursor1;
leave LOOP1;
end if;
BLOCK2: begin
declare v_col2 int;
declare no_more_rows2 boolean := FALSE;
declare cursor2 cursor for
select col2
from MyOtherTable
where ref_id = v_col1;
declare continue handler for not found
set no_more_rows2 := TRUE;
open cursor2;
LOOP2: loop
fetch cursor2
into v_col2;
if no_more_rows then
close cursor2;
leave LOOP2;
end if;
end loop LOOP2;
end BLOCK2;
end loop LOOP1;
end BLOCK1;

you could use loop,and reset the value of the handle,like this:
get_something:loop
open cur;
fetch cur into temp_key;
if no_more_record=1 then
set no_more_record=0;
close cur;
leave get_something;
else
//do your job;
end if;
end loop;
