A user had a query where he wanted to use the TOP Operator and store the results of this operation in a variable to be used later. Here's how to do so:
I am using the 'Customers' table of the Northwind database
DECLARE @CustomerID nchar(5)
SELECT TOP 1 @CustomerID = CustomerID
From Customers
Where Country = 'Germany'
ORDER BY CustomerID DESC
PRINT @CustomerID
