&lt;p&gt;A very similar source of hard-to-find problems is when a SELECT assignment matches NO rows, the variable is unchanged, rather than NULLed as is easy to expect. For example, using your num table;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;declare @num int&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;set @num = 1&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;select @num = num from nums where val = 'seventy'&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;select @num, @@rowcount&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;@@rowcount is 0 and @num is 1.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, the following DOES assign a NULL;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;set @num = ( select num from nums where val = 'seventy' )&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Regards,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Rhys&lt;/p&gt;

It requires the R2 Adventure Works databases - you can install them from the provided link but it still fails.&lt;/p&gt;
