Does the SQL Server team have any plans to permit variables to be used as object references in T-SQL statements? As explained in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/65466, and as every db developer knows, this has never been supported. In consequence, many kinds of abstraction force use of dynamic SQL, which makes refactoring and maintainability more difficult and, of course, means that in-built features such as referential integrity cannot be used.
