Answer 1

using while loop

Why a loop, in SQL we work set-based, not row-wise?

At all, that's really to less on information.

Please post table design as DDL, some sample data as DML statement and the expected result.

Answer 2

Hi @K Aravind Kumar

Your description of the problem confuses me, if it's just searching the entire table for specific data, then using

select * from Student_Table where student_name = '...'

That's enough.

If you want to store the found data into a new variable, you might use a while loop.

Please provide more information based on Olaf's recommendations.
