The WHILE loop can be used as an alternative to CURSORS. The following example will print numbers from 0 to 99.

 DECLARE @i int = 0;
 WHILE(@i < 100)
 BEGIN
    PRINT @i;
    SET @i = @i+1
 END

DECLARE @ID AS INT;

SET @ID = (SELECT MIN(ID) from TABLE);

WHILE @ID IS NOT NULL
BEGIN
    PRINT @ID;
    SET @ID = (SELECT MIN(ID) FROM TABLE WHERE ID > @ID);
END
