Need Help with While loop please

  • Hi I have to create a while loop that returns productname, categorid and unitprice and compares the categoryid to 4. The results should print the product name, categoryid and unitprice if the categoryid is less than 4.

    I am so confused as to how to write the while loop for this. Can anyone help please? This is what I came up with so far and based off of wrtiting a query to get the same results with the select statement.

    While(Select productname, categoryid, unitprice

    From Production.Products)

    Begin

    (Select productname, categoryid, unitprice

    From Production.Products

    Where production.products.categoryid < 4)

  • Hi,

    What is the objective to write while loop here?

    Can you elaborate it little bit more?

    GO

    DECLARE @inccount int

    SET @inccount = 1

    While ((SELECT COUNT(*) FROM Production.Product P RIGHT JOIN Production.ProductSubcategory SC

    ON SC.ProductSubcategoryID = P.ProductSubcategoryID

    JOIN Production.ProductCategory PC

    ON PC.ProductCategoryID = SC.ProductCategoryID

    WHERE PC.ProductCategoryID < 4)>=@inccount)

    BEGIN

    Declare @name varchar(100)

    ,@prodcatid int

    ,@listprice int

    Select @name = Name

    , @prodcatid = ProductCategoryID

    , @listprice = ListPrice

    from (Select ROW_NUMBER() over(order by pc.ProductCategoryID ASC)as rownumber, p.Name as Name

    ,PC.ProductCategoryID as ProductCategoryID ,ListPrice FROM Production.Product P RIGHT JOIN Production.ProductSubcategory SC

    ON SC.ProductSubcategoryID = P.ProductSubcategoryID

    JOIN Production.ProductCategory PC

    ON PC.ProductCategoryID = SC.ProductCategoryID

    WHERE PC.ProductCategoryID < 4) as d

    Where rownumber = @inccount

    Print 'Product name = '+' '+@name+' '+'Product_category_id = '+' '+convert(varchar,@prodcatid)+' '+'Listprice = '+' '+convert(varchar,@listprice)

    Set @inccount = @inccount+1

    end

  • Thank you for your help, I have now figured it out and understand it with your help. I appreciate it.
