Why do you want to loop through a table?
Does that have something to do with getting the data?

What type of server?
Can you create a linked server?

==========================================
Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.

Use Export/Import Wizard or SSIS.

you can either use ssis package with transformation tasks in between to achieve this or add one server as a linked server to another and use four part naming convention to get data from one onto other if transformation are not too complex. what excatly are changes you want to make in the data?

for that isnt it enough to use query using FOR XML in execute sql task to build xml and then pass it to your stored procedure by means of variable?

Great question how to setup linked server. Here is some steps.

1) Open SQL Management Studio (SSMS)
2) Go to Server Object and expand, You can see Linked server (Main Tab(
3) Right Click on Linked Server and click on <New Linked Server>
4) Mention Linked server name and select data source. (Either SQL or Oledb provider).
5) Under Security Tab you can add login for linked server. And you are done with linked server configuration.

You can use sp_addlinkedserver SP's. If need to remove the linked server use sp_removelinkedserver SP.
