John writes "I have used For Loops in Oracle in the past similar to this syntax:

for x in 1..v_example loop
/*CODE HERE*/
end loop;

I couldn't find any documentation for this in SQL Server. If it exists, could I see an example? Thanks much in advance.

There's no FOR statement in TSQL for Control-of-flow. There is a WHILE loop that can perform the same task.

Ex:

DECLARE @i int
SELECT @i = 1

WHILE @i < 10
BEGIN
SELECT @i
SELECT @i = @i + 1
END

For more about WHILE and other control-of-flow statements, consult SQL Books Online, or view it online here:
