Yeah. Use cursor and fetch record by record until the record you want.

Seriously, What are you trying to do here ?

Try something like, not sure they r acceptable

select name, id from sysobjects group by name, id, type
having type = 'p'
-- here we need to specify all the cols in group by

select distinct case when type = 'p' then name else null end
from sysobjects

and lastly self join

Is it so difficult to use WHERE clause?
Can you explain what you are trying to do?
