Question

Assuming I have table with tasks called Tasks.

I want to delete selected tasks with stored procedure SP_Task_DEL (which deletes tasks).

This procedure have one parameter @Id (id of task to delete).

How to execute this stored procedure many times with all results of query:

select id from Tasks where status = 'completed'

?

Answer 1

You could use a cursor for that, like:

declare @id int
declare cur cursor local fast_forward for 
    select id from Tasks where status = 'completed'
open cur
fetch next from cur into @id
while @@fetch_status = 0
    begin
    EXEC dbo.SP_Task_DEL @id
    fetch next from cur into @id
    end
close cur
deallocate cur
