宣告表變數

DECLARE @Employees TABLE
(
    EmployeeID INT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
    FirstName NVARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
    LastName NVARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
    ManagerID INT NULL
)

建立普通表時，使用 CREATE TABLE Name (Columns) 語法。建立表變數時，使用 DECLARE @Name TABLE (Columns) 語法。

要在 SELECT 語句中引用表變數，SQL Server 要求你為表變數賦予別名，否則你將收到錯誤：

必須宣告標量變數“@TableVariableName”。

即

DECLARE @Table1 TABLE (Example INT)
DECLARE @Table2 TABLE (Example INT)

/*
-- the following two commented out statements would generate an error:
SELECT *
FROM @Table1
INNER JOIN @Table2 ON @Table1.Example = @Table2.Example

SELECT *
FROM @Table1
WHERE @Table1.Example = 1
*/

-- but these work fine:
SELECT *
FROM @Table1 T1
INNER JOIN @Table2 T2 ON T1.Example = T2.Example

SELECT *
FROM @Table1 Table1
WHERE Table1.Example = 1
