Fetch only required fields from SQL Table

Question

Hi,
We have a table like below which will get data thru a job.
And I'm writing a Job/SP which will fetch 4 fields from that table and send  them in a Email to Admins informing how many new employee are added newly.
How to loop thru these fields  and not only there might be a chance where we will have 100 records and I need to take only first 30 of them and send.
EmpId
Empname
Deptname
Designation
 Can any one has any solution on achieving this?
Thanks

You need to use the Top30 query as your table in the script :
select top 30 EmpID,EmpName,DeptName,Designation
from tbl_name
order by EmpID
Eg: You may need to do for other columns:
--WARNING: THIS SCRIPT IS PROVIDED AS-IS AND WITHOUT
-- WARRANTY.
-- FOR DEMONSTRATION PURPOSES ONLY
--Step 01: Generate Temp table to store source data
DECLARE @NamesTable TABLE (Id INT,
Name NVARCHAR(50))
--Step 02: Generate test data
INSERT INTO @NamesTable VALUES (1,'A'),
(2,'D'),
(2,'C'),
(3,'E'),
(3,'H'),
(3,'G')
DECLARE @listIds VARCHAR(MAX) --DO NOT initialize this one!
SELECT @listIds = COALESCE(@listIds + ',' ,'') + Cast(nt.Id as varchar(10))
FROM @NamesTable nt Order by ID asc
DECLARE @listNames VARCHAR(MAX) --DO NOT initialize this one!
SELECT @listNames = COALESCE(@listNames + ',' ,'') + nt.Name
FROM @NamesTable nt Order by ID asc
SELECT 'EmpID: ' + @listIds+', EmpName: ' + @listNames
