Aquest article us ensenyarà una visió general completa de l'ús del bucle WHILE a SQL Server. A El bucle WHILE és una instrucció de flux de control que s'utilitza per executar repetidament el conjunt d'instruccions fins que es compleix la condició especificada. . Aquest bucle comença amb una condició determinada, avalueu-la i, si és TRUE, les declaracions aniran dins del bucle per a una execució posterior. Si la condició esdevé FALSA, no s'executarà. Implica que el bucle while a SQL Server es pot executar zero o més vegades.
Diagrama de flux del bucle WHILE
El següent diagrama de flux explicarà el flux de treball complet del bucle WHILE dins de SQL Server:

Podem veure en aquest gràfic que la condició especificada es verifica per a cada iteració i, en funció del resultat de l'avaluació, es determina el flux de codi. Si el resultat s'avalua com a TRUE, el flux de control entra dins del bucle per a una execució posterior. Si el resultat avaluat és FALS, el flux de control sortirà del bucle i s'executarà qualsevol instrucció o consulta fora del bucle.
Sintaxi
La sintaxi següent il·lustra el bucle WHILE a SQL Server:
WHILE boolean_condition BEGIN BREAK END;
En aquesta sintaxi, tenim els següents paràmetres o arguments:
Exemple de bucle WHILE
Entendrem com funciona el bucle WHILE a SQL Server mitjançant un exemple. En l'exemple donat, primer hem declarat un valor de tipus sencer i estableix el seu valor a 1. A continuació, el bucle WHILE comprova la condició i si és així VERITAT , s'imprimirà la declaració d'impressió. Quan el bucle es converteix en FALS , s'imprimirà la següent instrucció després del bucle WHILE.
DECLARE @stud_value INT; SET @stud_value = 1; WHILE @stud_value <= 5 begin print 'mark henry'; set @stud_value="@stud_value" + 1; end; 'rose bennet'; < pre> <p>Executing this statement will return the following output:</p> <img src="//techcodeview.com/img/sql-server-tutorials/44/sql-server-while-loop-2.webp" alt="SQL Server WHILE LOOP"> <p>In the above WHILE loop code snippet, we must increment the variable's value after each iteration. See the below part of the above code line as <strong>SET @stud_value = @stud_value + 1</strong> . If we do not write this statement, the loop will execute infinitely because it cannot becomes FALSE.</p> <pre> BEGIN PRINT 'Mark Henry'; SET @stud_value = @stud_value + 1; END; </pre> <h3>Infinite WHILE Loop</h3> <p>An infinite loop occurs when the evaluation of a condition will never be false. Therefore, the loop will never end and be executed forever. The loop in the following code snippet is infinite because the variable's value is not incremented.</p> <pre> DECLARE @stud_value INT; SET @stud_value = 1; WHILE @stud_value <= 5 begin print 'please stop execution!' end; < pre> <p>Executing the loop will display the below output. This loop will never end its execution until we do not cancel their execution of the query manually.</p> <img src="//techcodeview.com/img/sql-server-tutorials/44/sql-server-while-loop-3.webp" alt="SQL Server WHILE LOOP"> <h3>Inserting Records with WHILE Loop</h3> <p>We can also use the WHILE loop to insert records into the defined table. Let us see how to inserts dummy records into the database. First, we will create a table named <strong>'bikeshop'</strong> containing three columns: <strong>Id, bike_name,</strong> and <strong>price</strong> . Execute the following statement to create this table:</p> <pre> CREATE TABLE bikeshop ( Id INT PRIMARY KEY IDENTITY, bike_name VARCHAR (50) NOT NULL, price FLOAT ) </pre> <p>Next, we will use the WHILE loop to insert ten records into this table by executing the following script:</p> <pre> DECLARE @count INT; SET @count = 1; WHILE @count <= 10 begin insert into bikeshop values('bike-' + cast(@count as varchar), @count*5000) set @count="@count" 1; end; < pre> <p>In this code, we have declared a variable @ <strong>count</strong> and then initialize its value with 1 using a SET clause. Next, we have to define the loop body that executes the INSERT statement to add one record in each execution. The <strong>bike_name column</strong> will append the value of a @count variable with the string <strong>Bike</strong> , and the <strong>price</strong> column determines by the value of a @count variable multiplied by <strong>5000</strong> . The loop will execute until the value of the @count variable becomes FALSE. It means the WHILE loop will execute ten times and <strong>inserts ten records</strong> into the table bikeshop.</p> <p>Now, we can verify all the records of the bikeshop table with the SELECT statement. It will display the following output:</p> <img src="//techcodeview.com/img/sql-server-tutorials/44/sql-server-while-loop-4.webp" alt="SQL Server WHILE LOOP"> <h3>BREAK Statement</h3> <p>SQL Server also allows us to use the BREAK statement in the WHILE loop like programming languages. This statement is used to <strong>immediately stop the current iteration of the loop</strong> , and control flow resumes with the next statement after the loop. In general, we will use the <a href="/sql-server-if-else"> <strong>IF...ELSE statement</strong> </a> to check whether or not a condition has occurred.</p> <p>The following example will explain how to use the BREAK statement in the WHILE loop:</p> <pre> DECLARE @count INT; SET @count = 1; WHILE @count = 6 BEGIN BREAK END SET @Count = @Count + 1 END; </pre> <p>Executing the code will display the below output:</p> <img src="//techcodeview.com/img/sql-server-tutorials/44/sql-server-while-loop-5.webp" alt="SQL Server WHILE LOOP"> <p>The value of the variable is first evaluated in this code. If it is TRUE, the control enters into the loop and prints the statement. When the variable value is greater than or equal to 6, control enters the IF...ELSE block and executes the BREAK statement to terminate the loop. If an IF...ELSE block fails to meet the condition; then, the loop will keep running until the condition is changed to FALSE.</p> <h3>CONTINUE Statement</h3> <p>SQL Server also allows us to use the CONTINUE statement in the WHILE loop like programming languages. This statement immediately <strong>terminates the current execution of the loop when the specified condition is met</strong> , and control flow returns to the beginning of the loop. In general, the IF...ELSE statement will be used to test whether or not a condition has been met.</p> <p>The CONTINUE statement in the WHILE loop is demonstrated in the following example. In this example, we'll assume that we wish to use a WHILE loop to <strong>print only odd values</strong> . The CONTINUE statement can be used to do this. This example will first <strong>test</strong> whether the variable value is <strong>odd or even</strong> . If it is even, the execution goes inside the IF…ELSE statement blocks and decrement the variable value by one. Then, it will execute the CONTINUE statement and starts a new iteration from the beginning.</p> <pre> DECLARE @Count INT SET @Count = 1 WHILE (@Count <= 1 2="0" 44 20) begin if @count % set + continue end print 'the odd value is=" + CONVERT(VARCHAR, @Count) SET @Count = @Count + 1 END </pre> <p>Executing the code snippet will display the below output:</p> <img src=" techcodeview.com img sql-server-tutorials sql-server-while-loop-6.webp' alt="SQL Server WHILE LOOP"> <h3>How to implementing paging with WHILE loop in SQL Server?</h3> <p>We can also use the WHILE loop for implementing the paging. Paging allows displaying the subset of records from a table at any particular time. The following example will explain this concept. The WHILE loop in the code will select two records from the bikeshop table at a time. The records that have been chosen are then displayed in the output.</p> <pre> DECLARE @count INT DECLARE @limit INT; SET @count = 0 SET @limit = 2; WHILE @count <10 begin select * from bikeshop order by id offset @count rows fetch next @limit only set + 2; end; < pre> <p>Executing the code snippet will return the below output:</p> <img src="//techcodeview.com/img/sql-server-tutorials/44/sql-server-while-loop-7.webp" alt="SQL Server WHILE LOOP"> <h3>Nested WHILE Loop</h3> <p>The Nested WHILE Loop in SQL Server is simply a WHILE Loop written inside another WHILE Loop.

Es produeix un bucle infinit quan l'avaluació d'una condició mai serà falsa. Per tant, el bucle no s'acabarà mai i s'executarà per sempre. El bucle del fragment de codi següent és infinit perquè el valor de la variable no s'incrementa.

En executar el codi, es mostrarà la següent sortida:
El valor de la variable s'avalua primer en aquest codi. Si és TRUE, el control entra al bucle i imprimeix la declaració. Quan el valor de la variable és superior o igual a 6, el control entra al bloc IF...ELSE i executa la instrucció BREAK per finalitzar el bucle. Si un bloc IF...ELSE no compleix la condició; aleshores, el bucle continuarà funcionant fins que la condició canviï a FALSE.
Declaració CONTINUE
SQL Server també ens permet utilitzar la instrucció CONTINUE al bucle WHILE com a llenguatges de programació. Aquesta declaració immediatament finalitza l'execució actual del bucle quan es compleix la condició especificada , i el flux de control torna al començament del bucle. En general, la instrucció IF...ELSE s'utilitzarà per comprovar si s'ha complert o no una condició.
La instrucció CONTINUE al bucle WHILE es mostra a l'exemple següent. En aquest exemple, suposarem que volem utilitzar un bucle WHILE per imprimir només valors senars . La instrucció CONTINUE es pot utilitzar per fer-ho. Aquest exemple serà primer prova si el valor de la variable és parell o senar . Si és parell, l'execució entra dins dels blocs d'instruccions IF...ELSE i disminueix el valor de la variable en un. A continuació, executarà la instrucció CONTINUE i iniciarà una nova iteració des del principi.
