SQL Server Error Code 114: "Browse mode is invalid for a statement that assigns values to a variable" occurs when you try to use a SELECT
statement in a context that is incompatible with assigning values to variables. In SQL Server, you cannot use certain modes (like browse mode) when assigning values to variables.
To resolve this issue, ensure you are not using BROWSE
mode or any similar context when performing variable assignments. The error typically happens in a SELECT
statement when trying to assign values to variables.
Here is an example of how to properly assign values to variables in SQL Server:
Example: Correctly Assigning Values to Variables
Single Variable Assignment:
DECLARE @myVariable INT;
-- Correct way to assign a value to a variable
SELECT @myVariable = column_name
FROM table_name
WHERE condition;
DECLARE @var1 INT, @var2 VARCHAR(50);
-- Correct way to assign values to multiple variables
SELECT @var1 = column1, @var2 = column2
FROM table_name
WHERE condition;
Troubleshooting Steps
Ensure no
BROWSE
Clause: Check that yourSELECT
statement does not include theBROWSE
clause or any other clauses/modes that are incompatible with variable assignments.Use a Simple
SELECT
Statement: Make sure yourSELECT
statement is straightforward and only assigns values to variables without additional clauses.Avoid Aggregate Functions without Group By: If using aggregate functions, ensure they are used correctly with
GROUP BY
if needed.
Example of an Invalid Statement and Its Fix
Invalid Statement:
-- This might cause an error if BROWSE mode or similar context is implied
DECLARE @myVariable INT;
SELECT @myVariable = column_name
FROM table_name
WITH (BROWSE)
WHERE condition;
DECLARE @myVariable INT;
-- Correct way without BROWSE mode
SELECT @myVariable = column_name
FROM table_name
WHERE condition;
Detailed Example with Explanation
Let’s consider a more detailed example. Assume you have a table Employees
and you want to assign an employee’s ID and name to variables.
Table Structure:
CREATE TABLE Employees (
EmployeeID INT,
EmployeeName VARCHAR(100)
);
DECLARE @EmployeeID INT;
DECLARE @EmployeeName VARCHAR(100);
-- Assigning values to variables
SELECT @EmployeeID = EmployeeID, @EmployeeName = EmployeeName
FROM Employees
WHERE EmployeeID = 1;
