Question

I need to iterate over a recordset from a stored procedure and execute another stored procedure using each fields as arguments. I can’t complete this iteration in the code. I have found samples on the internets, but they all seem to deal with a counter. I’m not sure if my problem involved a counter. I need the T-SQL equivalent of a foreach

Currently, my first stored procedure stores its recordset in a temp table, #mytemp. I assume I will call the secondary stored procedure like this:

while (something)
    execute nameofstoredprocedure arg1, arg2, arg3
end

You need to create a cursor to loop through the record set.

Example Table:

CREATE TABLE Customers
(
    CustomerId INT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY IDENTITY(1,1)
    ,FirstName Varchar(50) 
    ,LastName VARCHAR(40)
)

INSERT INTO Customers VALUES('jane', 'doe')
INSERT INTO Customers VALUES('bob', 'smith')

Cursor:

DECLARE @CustomerId INT, @FirstName VARCHAR(30), @LastName VARCHAR(50)

DECLARE @MessageOutput VARCHAR(100)

DECLARE Customer_Cursor CURSOR FOR 
    SELECT CustomerId, FirstName, LastName FROM Customers


OPEN Customer_Cursor 

FETCH NEXT FROM Customer_Cursor INTO
    @CustomerId, @FirstName, @LastName

WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
    SET @MessageOutput = @FirstName + ' ' + @LastName



    RAISERROR(@MessageOutput,0,1) WITH NOWAIT

    FETCH NEXT FROM Customer_Cursor INTO
    @CustomerId, @FirstName, @LastName
END
CLOSE Customer_Cursor
DEALLOCATE Customer_Cursor

Here is a link to MSDN on how to create them.

This is why I used Raise Error instead of PRINT for output.
