Need help with some stored procedure

Question

The stored procedure:

ALTER PROC [Admin].[sp_Ques]    
(
 @QuesID bigint
 )
AS
BEGIN
 IF @QuesID = 0
  SET @QuesID =NULL
SELECT     FQ.QuesID, FQ.Ques,QuesAns 
F         


        

Answer 1

Perhaps create a local variable to hold the LanguageID that's being retrieved. Assign a value to it during the previous SELECT. The addition of TOP 1 simply ensures that if/when you ever have multiple matches in the first query (indeed you will when @Ques is zero or null!), only one value is returned in that query, thereby allowing a single value into your variable.

DECLARE @Lang int  --whatever datatype your QuesID is.

SELECT   TOP 1
           FQ.QuesID, FQ.Ques,QuesAns as QuesAns,
           FQ.QuesAns[Answers], FQT.QuesType ,
           FQ.QuesTypeID, FQ.QuesParentID, FQ.Active, FQ.AdminLanguageID
          ,@Lang = FQ.AdminLanguageID
FROM         Admin.Ques FQ
LEFT OUTER JOIN Admin.QuesTypes FQT ON FQT.QuesTypeID=FQ.QuesTypeID
WHERE   FQ.QuesID = Coalesce(@QuesID,QuesID)

SELECT TelerikLanguage FROM Admin.Language 
WHERE AdminLanguageID=@Lang
