SQL Server - Template Script for Looping Throught Table Without Using Cursor

Below is a single SQL Script I put together to use as a template whenever I need to loop through an SQL Table to then perform operations per row on certain data I can do it using this script.

The template is simple to understand it basically uses a temp table to copy into it the data you are interested in and then loop through it. The template then shows how to use the value you get from each row by just printing it to the screen. Of course you can replace that with any other code you want to.

DECLARE @RowCnt int
DECLARE @MaxRows int
SET @RowCnt = 1

DECLARE @TempTableName Table (rownum int IDENTITY (1, 1) PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL , Value_Name1 nvarchar(10))

-- Populate the TempTable
INSERT INTO @TempTableName (Value_Name1) (SELECT Value_Name1 FROM DatabaseTableName)
SET @MaxRows = (SELECT count(*) FROM @TempTableName)

-- Foreach Row in TempTableName
WHILE @RowCnt <= @MaxRows
BEGIN

 DECLARE @Value_Name nvarchar(10)
 SET @Value_Name = (SELECT Value_Name1 FROM @TempTableName WHERE rownum = @RowCnt)
 
 PRINT 'Row Value_Name ' + @Value_Name
 
 -- Next Row
 SET @RowCnt = @RowCnt + 1
END
