T-SQL loop over query results

I run a query select @id=table.id from table and I need to loop over the results so I can exec a store procedure for each row exec stored_proc @varName=@id,@otherVarName='test'

How can I do this in a T-SQL script?

Solution

  • You could use a CURSOR in this case:

    DECLARE @id INT
DECLARE @name NVARCHAR(100)
DECLARE @getid CURSOR

SET @getid = CURSOR FOR
SELECT table.id,
       table.name
FROM   table

OPEN @getid
FETCH NEXT
FROM @getid INTO @id, @name
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
    EXEC stored_proc @varName=@id, @otherVarName='test', @varForName=@name
    FETCH NEXT
    FROM @getid INTO @id, @name
END

CLOSE @getid
DEALLOCATE @getid

    Modified to show multiple parameters from the table.
