SQL Server SELECT INTO @variable

sqlsql serversql-server-2008tsql

I have the following code in one of my Sql (2008) Stored Procs which executes perfectly fine:

    CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[Item_AddItem]
        @CustomerId uniqueidentifier,
        @Description nvarchar(100),
        @Type int,
        @Username nvarchar(100),
    AS
    BEGIN

        DECLARE @TopRelatedItemId uniqueidentifier;
        SET @TopRelatedItemId = 
        (
           SELECT top(1) RelatedItemId 
           FROM RelatedItems 
           WHERE CustomerId = @CustomerId
        ) 

        DECLARE @TempItem TABLE
        (
            ItemId uniqueidentifier,
            CustomerId uniqueidentifier,
            Description nvarchar(100),
            Type int,
            Username nvarchar(100),
            TimeStamp datetime
        );

        INSERT INTO Item
        OUTPUT INSERTED.* INTO @TempItem
        SELECT NEWID(), @CustomerId, @Description, @Type, @Username, GETDATE()

        SELECT
            ItemId,
            CustomerId,
            @TopRelatedItemId,
            Description,
            Type,
            Username,
            TimeStamp
        FROM
            @TempItem
END
GO

So the question for you guys is is there a possibility to do something along the lines of:

DECLARE @TempCustomer TABLE
(
   CustomerId uniqueidentifier,
   FirstName nvarchar(100),
   LastName nvarchar(100),
   Email nvarchar(100)
);
SELECT 
    CustomerId, 
    FirstName, 
    LastName, 
    Email 
INTO 
    @TempCustomer 
FROM 
    Customer
WHERE 
    CustomerId = @CustomerId

So that I could reuse this data from memory in other following statements? SQL Server throws a fit with the above statement, however i don't want to have to create separate variables and initialize each one of them via a separate SELECT statement against the same table…. UGH!!!

Any suggestions on how to achieve something along the lines without multiple queries against the same table?

If you wanted to simply assign some variables for later use, you can do them in one shot with something along these lines:

declare @var1 int,@var2 int,@var3 int;

select 
    @var1 = field1,
    @var2 = field2,
    @var3 = field3
from
    table
where
    condition

If that's the type of thing you're after
