Advanced SQL (programming) videos | SQL Programming Part 6 - WHILE Loops
Posted by Andrew Gould on 05 December 2012
In SQL Server there is only one type of loop: a WHILE loop. This video teaches you how to use them, from the basic syntax of the WHILE statement, through how to use a SELECT statement within a loop. We'll also cover how to use the BREAK command to exit from a loop, what to do when you inevitably find yourself in an endless loop and, finally, a quick introduction to using loops with cursors.
You can increase the size of the video:
You can view the video in full screen mode as shown on the left, using the icon at the bottom right of the frame.
You can also increase the quality of the video:
You can improve the resolution of the video using another icon at the bottom right of the frame. This will slow down the connection speed, but increase the display and sound quality. This icon only becomes visible when you start playing the video.
Finally, if nothing happens when you play the video, check that you're not using IE in compatibility view.
