Accesing tables rows in Stored procedure without using cursors

[sarvesh jaiswar]

From last two days i am searching for the answer of this querry.
I want to know how can i access the rows of tables in stored procedures using loops(Without cursor).
We don't want to use cursor for that because of the performance issues.

Just to a while loop.

declare @rowcount int,
@counter int
select @rowcount = (select count(*) from table_name)

set @counter = 0
while @counter <= @rowcount
begin
select * from table_name where rowid = @counter
set @counter = @counter + 1
end
