How about

SELECT @bitValue = (SELECT count(1) FROM @someTableVar t1 INNER JOIN @anotherTableVar t2 ON t1.ID = t2.ID)

Given the following code that sets a bit value, is it possible to set the value of the bit variable all in one line, instead of the method used below?

		DECLARE @bitValue bit

Quick one - quickly setting a bit value based on exists statement
