How To Use WHILE Loop In SQL

In this article, we will learn how to use the WHILE loop in SQL.

The WHILE loop loops through a block of code as long as a specified condition is not false.

The WHILE loop is handy because they save time, reduces errors, and they make code more readable.

Syntax

WHILE <condition>
BEGIN
    -- Statement block
END;

Example

The subsequent statement would print 1 to 10 digits:

DECLARE @i INT = 1;

WHILE @i <= 10
BEGIN
   PRINT @i;
   SET @i = @i + 1;
END;
