MySQL WHILE Loop Characteristics

The WHILE loop statement in MySQL has the following characteristics:

1. A series of SQL statements can be executed within a loop to achieve repeated execution.
2. The code inside the loop will continue to execute until the loop condition is no longer met.
3. The loop continues to run when the condition is true and stops when it is false.
4. The loop variable can be manipulated and modified within the loop body to control the number of iterations and conditions of the loop.
5. The code within the loop can include SQL queries, data manipulation statements, etc., that interact with the MySQL database.
6. You can use the BREAK statement to prematurely end a loop, and the CONTINUE statement to skip the current iteration and move on to the next iteration.
7. WHILE loops can be nested within other loops or combined with conditional statements to achieve more complex logical control.
