Question

I’d like to be able to run an already parameterized query from within the SSMS:

select name from aTable where id = @id 

I know that other IDEs (e.g. TOAD) allow for parameter binding – is this available in SSMS 2008?

Thanks!

Answer 1

I don’t believe this is possible.

What I usually do in this case is just add the following to the top of the window:

declare @id int set @id = 10  -- followed by the parameterized query 

Actually, I think 2008 supports initialization now:

declare @id int = 10
