Den här artikeln kommer att lära dig om en fullständig översikt över användningen av WHILE-loopen i SQL Server. A WHILE loop är en kontrollflödessats som används för att upprepade gånger exekvera uppsättningen av satser tills det angivna villkoret är uppfyllt . Denna loop börjar med ett givet villkor, utvärdera det, och om det är TRUE, kommer satserna att gå in i loopen för vidare exekvering. Om villkoret blir FALSK kommer det inte att köras. Det innebär att while-loopen i SQL Server kan köras noll eller fler gånger.
Flödesschema för WHILE Loop
Följande flödesschema förklarar hela arbetsflödet för WHILE-loopen i SQL Server:
Madhuri sa kom igen
Vi kan se i det här diagrammet att det angivna villkoret kontrolleras för varje iteration, och baserat på utvärderingsresultatet bestäms kodflödet. Om resultatet utvärderas TRUE, går styrflödet in i slingan för vidare exekvering. Om det utvärderade resultatet är FALSK, kommer kontrollflödet att lämna slingan, och varje sats eller fråga utanför slingan kommer att exekveras.
Syntax
Följande syntax illustrerar WHILE-loopen i SQL Server:
WHILE boolean_condition BEGIN BREAK END;
I den här syntaxen har vi följande parametrar eller argument:
WHILE loop Exempel
Låt oss förstå hur WHILE-loopen fungerar i SQL Server genom ett exempel. I det givna exemplet har vi först deklarerat ett värde på heltalstyp och ställ in dess värde till 1. Därefter kontrollerar WHILE-slingan villkoret och om det är det SANN , kommer utskriften att skrivas ut. När slingan blir FALSK , kommer nästa sats efter WHILE-slingan att skrivas ut.
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.

En oändlig loop uppstår när utvärderingen av ett tillstånd aldrig kommer att vara falsk. Därför kommer slingan aldrig att ta slut och exekveras för alltid. Slingan i följande kodavsnitt är oändlig eftersom variabelns värde inte ökas.

Om du kör koden visas följande utdata:
Värdet på variabeln utvärderas först i denna kod. Om det är TRUE går kontrollen in i loopen och skriver ut påståendet. När variabelvärdet är större än eller lika med 6, går kontroll in i IF...ELSE-blocket och exekverar BREAK-satsen för att avsluta slingan. Om ett IF...ELSE-block inte uppfyller villkoret; sedan fortsätter loopen att köras tills villkoret ändras till FALSE.
FORTSÄTT Uttalande
SQL Server tillåter oss också att använda CONTINUE-satsen i WHILE-slingan som programmeringsspråk. Detta uttalande omedelbart avslutar den aktuella exekveringen av slingan när det angivna villkoret är uppfyllt och kontrollflödet återgår till början av slingan. I allmänhet kommer IF...ELSE-satsen att användas för att testa om ett villkor har uppfyllts eller inte.
CONTINUE-satsen i WHILE-loopen visas i följande exempel. I det här exemplet antar vi att vi vill använda en WHILE-loop till skriv bara ut udda värden . CONTINUE-satsen kan användas för att göra detta. Detta exempel kommer först testa om variabelvärdet är udda eller jämn . Om det är jämnt går exekveringen in i IF...ELSE-satsblocken och minskar variabelvärdet med ett. Sedan kommer den att köra CONTINUE-satsen och startar en ny iteration från början.
