SQL Server 2005 Setting a variable to the result of a select query

How do I set a variable to the result of select query without using a stored procedure?

I want to do something like: OOdate DATETIME

SET OOdate =          


        

Answer 1

What do you mean exactly? Do you want to reuse the result of your query for an other query?

In that case, why don't you combine both queries, by making the second query search inside the results of the first one (SELECT xxx in (SELECT yyy...)
