Thanks for responding. I need to execute the stored procedure in batches either through a while loop or some kind of table with identity column, but I don't know what is the best or most efficient way to do it. I cannot modify the stored proc, I can only call it with a date range given. The date range is big, and I don't want to update all the records in that one date range. So I am asking is there a way for me to execute the stored procedure in batches. Just like you would with an update or insert statement, but rather it is a stored procedure, but with the stored proc, I have to somehow link the batches to the stored procedure in order to update correctly within the date range given.

This is just an example of what I am trying to do

while @mindate (or @minid) < @maxdate (or @maxId)

begin

exec sproc_updatesomething @minid

set @minid = @mind + 1

end

something like that. hope this explains what I am trying to do. Maybe I need to split the date into week or month or something.
