Also, if you do not have case sensitive collation on your SQL server then you do not need to use the UPPER function. Just thought I'd mention it just in case...

hope userid is a unique index, otherwise you'll get a random id out of a result set

My given solution is as wrong or as right as the code in the opening post.

the query "select @var = tablename.pwd where userid = @userid" just assigns the variable @var the pwd correct? If so then why can't i get this to work?

oracle statement

select distinct(wa) into @var from tablename where id = @id

I tried doing it this was but I get an error

select @var = distinct wa from tablename where id = @id
______________________________________________________________
Is this the solution?
select @var = (select ditinct(wa) from tablename where id = @id)

So if you can't get it to work then what is the problem?
Is there an error message?
Please show:
executed statement
error message

Thank you for helping to help you

I think this is the correct select statement


select @var = (select ditinct(wa) from tablename where id = @id)
