Table variables inside while loop not initializing everytime : SQL Server
I am wondering why the table variables inside while loop does not behave like other variables. Table variables created only once and will be used across through out whole looping. but other variables getting initialized every time when loop increases. Check out the below code for more info declare @tt int set @tt =10 while @tt>0 begin declare @temptable table(id int identity(1,1),sid bigint) insert into @temptable select @tt union all select @tt + 1 select * from @temptable --delete from @temptable set @tt=@tt-1 end is this a bug?? Your premise is wrong. Other variables don't get reinitialised
