[sql-server] How to declare a variable in SQL Server and use it in the same Stored Procedure

What's going wrong with what you have? What error do you get, or what result do or don't you get that doesn't match your expectations?

I can see the following issues with that SP, which may or may not relate to your problem:

  • You have an extraneous ) after @BrandName in your SELECT (at the end)
  • You're not setting @CategoryID or @BrandName to anything anywhere (they're local variables, but you don't assign values to them)

Edit Responding to your comment: The error is telling you that you haven't declared any parameters for the SP (and you haven't), but you called it with parameters. Based on your reply about @CategoryID, I'm guessing you wanted it to be a parameter rather than a local variable. Try this:

CREATE PROCEDURE AddBrand
   @BrandName nvarchar(50),
   @CategoryID int
AS
BEGIN
   DECLARE @BrandID int

   SELECT @BrandID = BrandID FROM tblBrand WHERE BrandName = @BrandName

   INSERT INTO tblBrandinCategory (CategoryID, BrandID) VALUES (@CategoryID, @BrandID)
END

You would then call this like this:

EXEC AddBrand 'Gucci', 23

...assuming the brand name was 'Gucci' and category ID was 23.
