Hi
Yes of course you can write for example

While Loop:

SQL

DECLARE @intFlag INT
SET @i = 1
WHILE (@i <=5)
BEGIN
PRINT @i
SET @i = @i + 1
END
GO

And from here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4930103/how-to-use-for-loop-in-stored-procedure-sql-server-2005[^] you can find for-loop sample ;)

Best Regards.

Solution 4

Example of simple while loop(Nothing exist like for loop in stored procedures)

SQL

DECLARE @intFlag INT

SET @count = 1

WHILE (@count <=5)

BEGIN

PRINT @count

SET @count = @count + 1

END

GO

Solution 1

SQL does not have a FOR-statement, but you can use WHILE-statement[^] to simulate a for loop.

SQL

SET i = 0;
WHILE (i < 10)
    // Do your stuff

    SET i = i + 1
END

Solution 2

There is no such thing as a "for" loop in SQL - however there is a WHILE loop, which can do teh same job if you deal with the loop count yourself: MSDN: WHILE[^]
