How to fix “Must declare the scalar variable” error when referencing table variable?

Question

I can\'t figure out why (or maybe you just can\'t do this) I get the out of scope error

Must declare the scalar variable \"@CompanyGroupSites_Master.

Answer 1

This is a long standing parser issue. You need to get rid of the table prefix or wrap it in square brackets.

i.e.

delete from @CompanyGroupSites_Master 
where CompanyGroupID = @CompanyGroupID

or

delete from @CompanyGroupSites_Master 
where [@CompanyGroupSites_Master].CompanyGroupID = @CompanyGroupID

Not

delete from @CompanyGroupSites_Master 
where @CompanyGroupSites_Master.CompanyGroupID = @CompanyGroupID
