基本的遊標語法

一個簡單的遊標語法，在幾個示例測試行上執行：

/* Prepare test data */
DECLARE @test_table TABLE
(
    Id INT,
    Val VARCHAR(100)
);
INSERT INTO @test_table(Id, Val)
VALUES 
    (1, 'Foo'), 
    (2, 'Bar'), 
    (3, 'Baz');
/* Test data prepared */

/* Iterator variable @myId, for example sake */
DECLARE @myId INT;

/* Cursor to iterate rows and assign values to variables */
DECLARE myCursor CURSOR FOR
    SELECT Id
    FROM @test_table;

/* Start iterating rows */
OPEN myCursor;
FETCH NEXT FROM myCursor INTO @myId;

/* @@FETCH_STATUS global variable will be 1 / true until there are no more rows to fetch */
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN

    /* Write operations to perform in a loop here. Simple SELECT used for example */
    SELECT Id, Val
    FROM @test_table 
    WHERE Id = @myId;

    /* Set variable(s) to the next value returned from iterator; this is needed otherwise the cursor will loop infinitely. */
    FETCH NEXT FROM myCursor INTO @myId;
END
/* After all is done, clean up */
CLOSE myCursor;
DEALLOCATE myCursor;

SSMS 的結果。請注意，這些都是單獨的查詢，它們不是統一的。請注意查詢引擎如何逐個處理每個迭代而不是作為集合。
