WHILE statement sets a condition for the repeated execution of an SQL statement or statement block. Following is very simple example of WHILE Loop with BREAK and CONTINUE.
USE AdventureWorks;
GO
DECLARE @Flag INT
SET @Flag = 1
WHILE (@Flag < 10)
BEGIN
BEGIN
PRINT @Flag
SET @Flag = @Flag + 1
END
IF(@Flag > 5)
BREAK
ELSE
CONTINUE
END
WHILE loop can use SELECT queries as well. You can find following example of BOL very useful.
USE AdventureWorks;
GO
WHILE (
SELECT AVG(ListPrice)
FROM Production.Product) < $300
BEGIN
UPDATE Production.Product
SET ListPrice = ListPrice * 2
SELECT MAX(ListPrice)
FROM Production.Product
IF (
SELECT MAX(ListPrice)
FROM Production.Product) > $500
BREAK
ELSE
CONTINUE
END
PRINT 'Too much for the market to bear';
