SQL Server Helper - SQL Server 2008 - Compound Operators

 

Compound Operators

SQL Server 2008 introduces the Compound Operators as a programmability enhancement in Transact-SQL.  Compound operators execute some operation, such as +, -, * and /, and set an original value to the result of the operation.  It is just a simpler syntax that you can use on commonly performed operation such as incrementing a variable by a certain number.

As an example, instead of doing the following:

SET @Index = @Index + 1


it can now simplified as follows:



SET @Index += 1
