SQL SET statement
Solution 1
How can I correct this to valid syntex? (assuming it's possible)
The syntax you want is as follows, it needs one piece of info that you don't have in your original effort though (the FROM clause) :
DECLARE @version_group int
select @version_group = version_replace from (you're missing this from your query) where id=@sid
Solution 2
It's possible. Just do (SQL 2008):
declare @version_group as int=
(SELECT version_replace
FROM users
WHERE id=@sid);
Solution 3
DECLARE @version_group int
SELECT @version_group = version_replace
FROM MyVersionTable
WHERE id=@sid
Don't forget to include your data source (i.e. table, view, replacing MyVersionTable
above).

I am currently improving my knowledge of SQL. Currently I am trying to declare a variable by getting a value from a select statement. First Question: Is this possible?
Second Question: I have this SQL attempting to do the above. My intension is to set
@version_group
to whateverversion_replace
holds, which is always a single row, single column result.DECLARE @version_group int SET @version_group = SELECT version_replace FROM users WHERE id=@sid

Alex K. almost 13 years+1 but worth noting its valid in SQL 2k8 only (and the AS is optional)

sara almost 13 yearsI guess you are right :( I work with SQL 2k8 and this is the syntax I use.
