How to set variable from a SQL query?

Question

I\'m trying to set a variable from a SQL query:

declare @ModelID uniqueidentifer

Select @ModelID = select modelid from models
where areaid = \'South Coast\'         


        

Answer 1

I prefer just setting it from the declare statement

DECLARE @ModelID uniqueidentifer = (SELECT modelid 
                                    FROM models
                                    WHERE areaid = 'South Coast')
