Looping constructs are only available within Procedures.

More importantly, why do you feel the need to do anything using loops?

Relational Databases work [best] on Sets (of records); anything that you do with procedural code runs the risk of becoming a bottleneck that will cripple your application's performance.

What problem are you trying to solve?
