Hello geeks,
I am trying to optimize one SP.
So should I use triggers cursor or temp table to loop.

I want to use values of each row for processing in loop.

Which will work faster?
Advice ?

Why do you need to loop at all?

There is probably a much better set based way to improve the query, why not post an example of what you have and what you are trying to achieve?

triggers and temp tables are two seprate things. In what type of loop you wanna use any of these structures?

As already mentioned, cursors and temp tables are completely separate concepts, as are triggers. Unless you provide more detail (again already mentioned) about what you're trying to do we cannot help you.
