here is the simple cursor implementation
syntax:
DECLARE cursor_name [INSENSITIVE] [SCROLL] CURSOR
FOR select_statement
[FOR {READ ONLY | UPDATE [OF column_name [,...n]]}]

you can use while loop like this
DECLARE @intFlag INT
SET @intFlag = 1
WHILE (@intFlag <=5)
BEGIN
PRINT @intFlag
SET @intFlag = @intFlag + 1
END
DECLARE @intFlag INT
SET @intFlag = 1
WHILE (@intFlag <=5)
BEGIN
PRINT @intFlag
SET @intFlag = @intFlag + 1
END
hello @pratima_mcs: Thanks , in both the way u r right , but which is the better way according to u , using cursor or while loop ??
it really depends on your situation. I almost always use a cursor to loop through records when necessary. The cursor format is a little more intuitive for me and, since I just use the constructs to loop through the result set once, it makes sense to use the FAST_FORWARD cursor. Remember that the type of cursor you use will have a huge impact on the performance of your looping construct.

USE AdventureWorks;
GO
DECLARE @Flag INT
SET @Flag = 1
WHILE (@Flag < 10)
BEGIN
BEGIN
PRINT @Flag
SET @Flag = @Flag + 1
END
IF(@Flag > 5)
BREAK
ELSE
CONTINUE
END
WHILE loop can use SELECT queries as well. You can find following example of BOL very useful.
USE AdventureWorks;
GO
WHILE (
SELECT AVG(ListPrice)
FROM Production.Product) < $300
BEGIN
UPDATE Production.Product
SET ListPrice = ListPrice * 2
SELECT MAX(ListPrice)
FROM Production.Product
IF (
SELECT MAX(ListPrice)
FROM Production.Product) > $500
BREAK
ELSE
CONTINUE
END
PRINT 'Too much for the market to bear';
GO
DECLARE @Flag INT
SET @Flag = 1
WHILE (@Flag < 10)
BEGIN
BEGIN
PRINT @Flag
SET @Flag = @Flag + 1
END
IF(@Flag > 5)
BREAK
ELSE
CONTINUE
END
