Question

Is it possible to update more than one local variable in a single select?

Something like:

set     @variableOne = avg(someColumn),     @variableTwo = avg(otherColumn)     from tblTable 

It seems a bit wasteful to make two separate select operations for something as trivial as this task:

set @variableOne = ( select avg(someColumn) from tblTable ) set @variableTwo = ( select avg(otherColumn) from tblTable ) 

Answer 1

Something like this:

select @var1 = avg(someColumn), @var2 = avg(otherColumn)  from theTable
