    You're right the one can't declare and assign in the same line with local variables in SQL 2005. Adding that feature in SQL 2008 made turning ad-hoc versions of stored procedures sooo much easier.

    All MS needs to do now is figure out that column and variable selection along with variable assignment in the same SELECT (kind of like they do in update) would be incredibly useful and my day would be made! 🙂

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
