Any valid expression of any one of the data types in the numeric category, except the bit data type.
Return types
Returns the data type of the argument with the higher precedence. For more information, see Data type precedence (Transact-SQL).
Remarks
The &= operator is shorthand for using the = and & operators. The following two queries are equivalent.
-- &= operator
DECLARE @bitwise INT = 1;
SET @bitwise &= 1;
SELECT @bitwise;
GO
-- = and & operators
DECLARE @bitwise INT = 1;
SET @bitwise = @bitwise & 1;
SELECT @bitwise;
GO
Both examples return a result of 1.
