sql server - SQL - Call Stored Procedure for each record

Question

I am looking for a way to call a stored procedure for each record of a select statement.

SELECT @SomeIds = (
    SELECT spro.Id 
    FROM SomeTable as spro
    INNER JOIN [Address] addr ON addr.Id = spro.Id 
    INNER JOIN City cty ON cty.CityId = addr.CityId
    WHERE cty.CityId = @CityId
)


WHILE @SomeIds  IS NOT NULL
BEGIN
    EXEC UpdateComputedFullText @SomeIds
END

Such a thing above is not working of course, but is there a way to do something like that?

You need to use a cursor for that.

DECLARE @oneid int -- or the appropriate type

DECLARE the_cursor CURSOR FAST_FORWARD
FOR SELECT spro.Id  
    FROM SomeTable as spro 
        INNER JOIN [Address] addr ON addr.Id = spro.Id  
        INNER JOIN City cty ON cty.CityId = addr.CityId 
    WHERE cty.CityId = @CityId

OPEN the_cursor
FETCH NEXT FROM the_cursor INTO @oneid

WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
    EXEC UpdateComputedFullText @oneid

    FETCH NEXT FROM the_cursor INTO @oneid
END

CLOSE the_cursor
DEALLOCATE the_cursor
