Transact-SQL syntax conventions

Syntax

expression &= expression

Arguments

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.
