Answer 1

Make a connection to your DB using a procedural programming language (here Python), and do the loop there. This way you can do complicated loops as well.

# make a connection to your db
import pyodbc
conn = pyodbc.connect('''
                        Driver={ODBC Driver 13 for SQL Server};
                        Server=serverName;
                        Database=DBname;
                        UID=userName;
                        PWD=password;
                      ''')
cursor = conn.cursor()

# run sql code
for id in [4, 7, 12, 22, 19]:
  cursor.execute('''
    exec p_MyInnerProcedure {}
  '''.format(id))
