Can we assign more than one variable in on SELECT Statement ?

Like:

SELECT @variable1 = c1+c2  , @variable2 = c1-c2  from someView

it dosn’t work in SQL Server

Answer 1

Yes, SQL Server allows this

CREATE TABLE fish (c1 int, c2 int)
INSERT fish VALUES (1, 2)
GO
DECLARE @v1 int, @v2 int
SELECT
   @v1 = c1-c2, @v2 = c1+c2
FROM
  fish

SELECT @v1, @v2

So, you are not giving us full information:

• query
• data
• error message
