Why don't you try it out?

I tried it already.
Both of them are working. (MS SQL)

I like #1 better. #2 looks too much like variable assignment.

Solution 2

Example 1 is a good practice. In case of Example 2 Sql server will create one object with name "myCount", your value will assign to variable "myCount" and it will be displayed.
