hi...i would like to know best practice when assigning a value to a
variable example below

set
or
select

declare @var1 varchar(25)
set @var1='abc'
select @var1='abc'

to me
set is implicit
select implies conditions

i see both used all over the place here at my new company....
so witch is better practice

tks
MJ
