Sample Source Patterns

Teradata

Loop

IN -> Teradata_01.sql

CREATE PROCEDURE loopProcedure(OUT resultCounter INTEGER)
BEGIN
    DECLARE counter INTEGER DEFAULT 0;
   
    customeLabel: LOOP 
    	SET counter = counter + 1;
	IF counter = 10 THEN
	    LEAVE customeLabel;
	END IF;
    END LOOP customeLabel;
   
    SET resultCounter = counter;
END;

CALL loopProcedure(:?);

Result

|resultCounter|
|-------------|
|10           |
