Hi, Set the value as SET @SoftwareID:=7;
Now, use WHERE s.softwareID = @SoftwareID at the end of your query. Thanks, Narasimha -----Original Message----- From: Erich Beyrent [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 13, 2004 8:30 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: User variables I am having a problem with a query: SET @SoftwareID = 7; SELECT s.softwareID, s.softwareName, s.softwareVersion, s.softwareCreated, s.softwareChanged, b.buildName, s.supportFlag, s.softwareDesc, s.softwareLicense, s.softwareLocations, s.softwareProductKey, p.platformName, v.vendorName, v.vendorURL FROM software s INNER JOIN platform_groups pg on s.softwareID = pg.softwareID INNER JOIN platforms p on pg.platformID = p.platformID INNER JOIN vendors v on s.vendorID = v.vendorID INNER JOIN builds b on s.buildTypeID = b.buildTypeID WHERE s.softwareID = @SoftwareID This does not work. It appears that the user variable is not picked up in the WHERE clause - the query works fine if I have: WHERE s.softwareID = 7 Is what I am trying to do not supported? I am using version 4.1.7 on FreeBSD 5.3.
