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

Select @ModelID =m.modelid 
From   MODELS m
Where  m.areaid = 'South Coast'

In this case if you have two or more results returned then your result is the last record. So be aware of this if you might have two more records returned as you might not see the expected result.
