Get Updated Row

Question

I have a query that updates one record, and only one record. Is there are way to get the Id updated in the same query such as Select ScopeIdentity when inserting.

Answer 1

Yes, use the OUTPUT clause

Example:

UPDATE Task
SET MyTime = GetDate(), MyUserId = @userid
OUTPUT INSERTED.MyID
FROM (select top 1 table where SomeStuff)

or

DECLARE @MyTableVar TABLE (...

...
UPDATE Task
SET MyTime = GetDate(), MyUserId = @userid
OUTPUT INSERTED.MyID INTO @MyTableVar 
FROM (select top 1 table where SomeStuff)
