A

In Transact-SQL, you must use DECLARE statements to declare variables.

Declaring a variable is to define the variable name and the variable data type.

In Transact-SQL, you can:

  • Declare a single variable in a single DECLARE statement.
  • Declare multiple variables in a single DECLARE statement using comma (,) as the delimiter.
  • Declare variables with initial values using the assignment operator =.

Here are some example on how to declare variables in Transact-SQL: 

DECLARE @country CHAR(3);
DECLARE @name NVARCHAR(80), @city NVARCHAR(80);
DECLARE @price MONEY = 9.99;
DECLARE @now DATETIME = GETDATE();
