What\'s the equivalent of Oracle\'s RowID in SQL Server?
I took this example from MS SQL example and you can see the @ID can be interchanged with integer or varchar or whatever. This was the same solution I was looking for, so I am sharing it. Enjoy!!
-- UPDATE statement with CTE references that are correctly matched.
DECLARE @x TABLE (ID int, Stad int, Value int, ison bit);
INSERT @x VALUES (1, 0, 10, 0), (2, 1, 20, 0), (6, 0, 40, 0), (4, 1, 50, 0), (5, 3, 60, 0), (9, 6, 20, 0), (7, 5, 10, 0), (8, 8, 220, 0);
DECLARE @Error int;
DECLARE @id int;
WITH cte AS (SELECT top 1 * FROM @x WHERE Stad=6)
UPDATE x -- cte is referenced by the alias.
SET ison=1, @id=x.ID
FROM cte AS x
SELECT *, @id as 'random' from @x
GO
