In SQL, you use cursors to loop over recordsets. The basic syntax is a bit complicated for me to type in now, but basically you declare a cursor using a SELECT statement, then fetch individual records into the cursor. It's very well documented in your SQL Server Books Online. However, very often, there's a better set-based solution available - cursors are a procedural approach, and are often very inefficient within SQL.
