Question

I need to execute the procedure deleteQuestion for each element that was returned by this select query:

select id from questions where Stuff = @Stuff

execute deleteQuestion id

something like:
execute deleteQuestion each(select id fom questions where Stuff = @Stuff)

anybody knows how ?

Answer 1

I did it like this:

declare @sqlstr nvarchar(max)

set @sqlstr = ''

select  @sqlstr = @sqlstr + ' exec deleteQuestion ' + cast(q.id as nvarchar(max))
from Questions q where stuff = @stuff

exec (@sqlstr)

I’ve been told that this approach is much faster than a cursor
