Question

I have a requirement to execute a query 6 times, but each time with a different parameter, is there any way i can execute it in some form of a loop. or do i have to execute it 6 times seperately ? i tried searching the web for answers, but i couldn’t find anything relevant.

Answer 1

declare @idx int = 0

declare @parameter1 varchar(10) = 'foo'
declare @parameter2 varchar(10) = 'bar'
declare @parameter3 varchar(10) = 'sql'
declare @parameter4 varchar(10) = 'star'
declare @parameter5 varchar(10) = 'maa'
declare @parameter6 varchar(10) = 'baa'

while (@idx < 6)
begin
    --example query using parameter based on loop counter
    select case 
        when @idx = 0 then @parameter1
        when @idx = 1 then @parameter2
        when @idx = 2 then @parameter3
        when @idx = 3 then @parameter4
        when @idx = 4 then @parameter5
        when @idx = 5 then @parameter6
    end
    set @idx = @idx + 1
end
