SQL Server SELECT INTO @variable?

Question

I have the following code in one of my Sql (2008) Stored Procs which executes perfectly fine:

    CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[Item_AddItem]
        @CustomerId u         


        

Answer 1

"SELECT *
  INTO 
    @TempCustomer 
FROM 
    Customer
WHERE 
    CustomerId = @CustomerId"

Which means creating a new @tempCustomer tablevariable and inserting data FROM Customer. You had already declared it above so no need of again declaring. Better to go with

INSERT INTO @tempCustomer SELECT * FROM Customer
