下面是我的解决方案，它使用了一个无限循环、BREAK语句和@@ROWCOUNT函数。没有游标或临时表是必要的，我只需要写一个查询，以获得下一行在@databases表:

declare @databases table
(
    DatabaseID    int,
    [Name]        varchar(15),   
    [Server]      varchar(15)
);


-- Populate the [@databases] table with test data.
insert into @databases (DatabaseID, [Name], [Server])
select X.DatabaseID, X.[Name], X.[Server]
from (values 
    (1, 'Roger', 'ServerA'),
    (5, 'Suzy', 'ServerB'),
    (8675309, 'Jenny', 'TommyTutone')
) X (DatabaseID, [Name], [Server])


-- Create an infinite loop & ensure that a break condition is reached in the loop code.
declare @databaseId int;

while (1=1)
begin
    -- Get the next database ID.
    select top(1) @databaseId = DatabaseId 
    from @databases 
    where DatabaseId > isnull(@databaseId, 0);

    -- If no rows were found by the preceding SQL query, you're done; exit the WHILE loop.
    if (@@ROWCOUNT = 0) break;

    -- Otherwise, do whatever you need to do with the current [@databases] table row here.
    print 'Processing @databaseId #' + cast(@databaseId as varchar(50));
end

如果您别无选择，只能逐行创建FAST_FORWARD游标。它和构建while循环一样快，而且更容易长期维护。

FAST_FORWARD 指定一个启用性能优化的FORWARD_ONLY、READ_ONLY游标。如果还指定了SCROLL或FOR_UPDATE，则FAST_FORWARD不能指定。

这将在SQL SERVER 2012版本中工作。

declare @Rowcount int 
select @Rowcount=count(*) from AddressTable;

while( @Rowcount>0)
  begin 
 select @Rowcount=@Rowcount-1;
 SELECT * FROM AddressTable order by AddressId desc OFFSET @Rowcount ROWS FETCH NEXT 1 ROWS ONLY;
end 

我真的不明白为什么你需要使用可怕的光标。 但是如果你使用的是2005/2008版本的SQL Server，还有另一种选择 使用递归

declare @databases table
(
    DatabaseID    int,
    Name        varchar(15),   
    Server      varchar(15)
)

--; Insert records into @databases...

--; Recurse through @databases
;with DBs as (
    select * from @databases where DatabaseID = 1
    union all
    select A.* from @databases A 
        inner join DBs B on A.DatabaseID = B.DatabaseID + 1
)
select * from DBs

以下是我的做法:

Select Identity(int, 1,1) AS PK, DatabaseID
Into   #T
From   @databases

Declare @maxPK int;Select @maxPK = MAX(PK) From #T
Declare @pk int;Set @pk = 1

While @pk <= @maxPK
Begin

    -- Get one record
    Select DatabaseID, Name, Server
    From @databases
    Where DatabaseID = (Select DatabaseID From #T Where PK = @pk)

    --Do some processing here
    -- 

    Select @pk = @pk + 1
End

[编辑]因为我可能在第一次读这个问题时跳过了“变量”这个词，这里是一个更新的回答…

declare @databases table
(
    PK            int IDENTITY(1,1), 
    DatabaseID    int,
    Name        varchar(15),   
    Server      varchar(15)
)
-- insert a bunch rows into @databases
--/*
INSERT INTO @databases (DatabaseID, Name, Server) SELECT 1,'MainDB', 'MyServer'
INSERT INTO @databases (DatabaseID, Name, Server) SELECT 1,'MyDB',   'MyServer2'
--*/

Declare @maxPK int;Select @maxPK = MAX(PK) From @databases
Declare @pk int;Set @pk = 1

While @pk <= @maxPK
Begin

    /* Get one record (you can read the values into some variables) */
    Select DatabaseID, Name, Server
    From @databases
    Where PK = @pk

    /* Do some processing here */
    /* ... */ 

    Select @pk = @pk + 1
End

首先，你应该绝对确定你需要遍历每一行——基于行集的操作在我能想到的任何情况下都会执行得更快，通常会使用更简单的代码。

根据您的数据，可能只使用SELECT语句循环，如下所示:

Declare @Id int

While (Select Count(*) From ATable Where Processed = 0) > 0
Begin
    Select Top 1 @Id = Id From ATable Where Processed = 0

    --Do some processing here

    Update ATable Set Processed = 1 Where Id = @Id 

End

另一种方法是使用临时表:

Select *
Into   #Temp
From   ATable

Declare @Id int

While (Select Count(*) From #Temp) > 0
Begin

    Select Top 1 @Id = Id From #Temp

    --Do some processing here

    Delete #Temp Where Id = @Id

End

您应该选择的选项实际上取决于数据的结构和容量。

注意:如果您正在使用SQL Server，您将更好地使用:

WHILE EXISTS(SELECT * FROM #Temp)

使用COUNT将不得不触及表中的每一行，EXISTS只需要触及第一行(参见Josef的回答)。
