= (Assignment Operator) (Transact-SQL)

• 11 contributors

The equal sign (=) is the only Transact-SQL assignment operator. In the following example, the @MyCounter variable is created, and then the assignment operator sets @MyCounter to a value returned by an expression.

The assignment operator can also be used to establish the relationship between a column heading and the expression that defines the values for the column. The following example displays the column headings FirstColumnHeading and SecondColumnHeading . The string xyz is displayed in the FirstColumnHeading column heading for all rows. Then, each product ID from the Product table is listed in the SecondColumnHeading column heading.

12.4.4 Assignment Operators

Table 12.6 Assignment Operators

Assignment operator. Causes the user variable on the left hand side of the operator to take on the value to its right. The value on the right hand side may be a literal value, another variable storing a value, or any legal expression that yields a scalar value, including the result of a query (provided that this value is a scalar value). You can perform multiple assignments in the same SET statement. You can perform multiple assignments in the same statement.

Unlike = , the := operator is never interpreted as a comparison operator. This means you can use := in any valid SQL statement (not just in SET statements) to assign a value to a variable.

You can make value assignments using := in other statements besides SELECT , such as UPDATE , as shown here:

While it is also possible both to set and to read the value of the same variable in a single SQL statement using the := operator, this is not recommended. Section 9.4, “User-Defined Variables” , explains why you should avoid doing this.

This operator is used to perform value assignments in two cases, described in the next two paragraphs.

Within a SET statement, = is treated as an assignment operator that causes the user variable on the left hand side of the operator to take on the value to its right. (In other words, when used in a SET statement, = is treated identically to := .) The value on the right hand side may be a literal value, another variable storing a value, or any legal expression that yields a scalar value, including the result of a query (provided that this value is a scalar value). You can perform multiple assignments in the same SET statement.

In the SET clause of an UPDATE statement, = also acts as an assignment operator; in this case, however, it causes the column named on the left hand side of the operator to assume the value given to the right, provided any WHERE conditions that are part of the UPDATE are met. You can make multiple assignments in the same SET clause of an UPDATE statement.

In any other context, = is treated as a comparison operator .

For more information, see Section 13.7.4.1, “SET Syntax for Variable Assignment” , Section 13.2.11, “UPDATE Statement” , and Section 13.2.10, “Subqueries” .

Assignment Operator in MySQL

Back to: MySQL Tutorials for Beginners and Professionals

Assignment Operator in MySQL with Examples

In this article, I am going to discuss Assignment Operator in MySQL with Examples. Please read our previous article where we discussed SET Operators (UNION, UNION ALL, INTERSECT, & EXCEPT) in MySQL  with examples.

The Assignment Operator in MySQL is used to assign or compare a value to a column or a field of a table. The equal sign (=) is the assignment operator where the value on the right is assigned to the value on the left. It is also used to establish a relationship between a column heading and the expression that defines the values for the column.

Example to understand Assignment Operator in MySQL

Let us understand the MySQL Assignment Operator with some examples. We are going to use the following Product table to understand the Assignment Operator.

Please execute the below SQL Script to create and populate the Product table with the required sample data.

Example: Update the Price of each product by adding 10

Now we will update the Price column of the Product table by using the equals operator as an assignment. Following is the SQL statement.

UPDATE Product SET Price = Price + 10;

Once you execute the above Update statement, now verify that the Price column value in the Product table is updated as shown in the below image. SELECT * FROM Product; will give you the following result set.

Here, you can observe the Price column has been updated by raising the existing prices by adding 10. Also, we can use the same operator for comparing values. Following is the example:

UPDATE Product SET Price = Price * 1.02 WHERE ProductId = 6;

Let’s see the updated table: SELECT * FROM Product; will give you the following output.

Here we are updating the Price column of the Product table where the ProductId is 6. And you can observe that only the Price with ProductId =6 has been updated.

Assigning Variables using Assignment Operator in MySQL

There are two ways to assign a value:

• By using SET statement: Using SET statement we can either use := or = as an assignment operator.
• By using SELECT statement: Using SELECT statement we must use := as an assignment operator because = operator is used for comparison in MySQL.

SET variableName = expression; where the variable name can be any variable created. SELECT FieldName = expression; where field name can be any given name.

Example: Using SET Statement in MySQL

SET @MyCounter = 1; SELECT @MyCounter;

In this example, first, we have created a variable @MyCounter and then we are using the assignment operator to set @MyCounter to a value returned by an expression.

Example: Using SELECT Statement in MySQL

Let’s get the most expensive item from the Product table and assigns the Price to the variable @ExpensiveItem. Following is the SQL Statement.

SELECT @ExpensiveItem := MAX(Price) FROM Product;

When you execute the above statement, you will get the following output.

In the next article, I am going to discussed Constraints in MySQL with Examples. Here, in this article, I try to explain Assignment Operator in MySQL with Examples. I hope you enjoy this article.

What are SQL operators?

An operator performs on separate data items and returns a result. The data items are called operands or arguments. Operators are mentioned by special characters or by keywords. For example , the plus operator is represented by a plus (+) sign and the operator that checks for nulls are represented by the keywords IS NULL or IS NOT NULL.

Assignment Operator

I am going to continue the series of very short articles or tidbits on Transaction SQL Operators. An operator is a symbol specifying an action that is performed on one or more expressions.

I will exploring the Assignment Operator today. This equality symbol = in mathematics.

There are two ways in which the assignment operator can be used: alias – associating a column heading with a expression or storage – placing the results of a expression into a variable.

The TSQL example below compares the assignment operator against old and new ANSI standards for aliasing.

The output of each calculation is listed below.

The TSQL example below is a good example of using the assignment operator to store the results of a expression into a variable. It creates a temporary table, declares a local variable and sums up the numbers in the temporary table.

The output of the summation is listed below.

Next time, I will be exploring the Bitwise Operators .

Let's Define DBMS

DBMS – RELATIONAL ALGEBRA

DBMS – RELATIONAL ALGEBRA : Algebra – As we know is a formal structure that contains sets and operations, with operations being performed on those sets. Relational algebra can be defined as procedural query language which is the core of any relational query languages available for the database. It provides a framework for query implementation and optimization. When a query is made internally the relation algebra is being executed among the relations. To perform queries, it uses both unary and binary operators.

Let us first study the basic fundamental operations and then the other additional operations.

Fundamental operations are-

• Set difference
• Cartesian product

Select operation

• It performs the operation of selecting particular tuple or a row which satisfies a specific predicate from a relation.
• It is a unary operation.
• Represented by σ p (r),where σ is selection predicate, r is relation, p is prepositional logic formula that might use connectors like and, or, not.
• σ name = “ Nicholas_sparks ” (Novels), selects tuples from the Novels where the name of the author is Nicholas sparks.
• σ name = “ Nicholas_sparks ” and price = “ 300 ” (Novels), selects tuples from the Novels where the name of the author is Nicholas sparks and price is 300.
• σ name = “ Nicholas_sparks ” and price = “ 300 ” or “ year ” (Novels), selects tuples from the Novels where the name of the author is Nicholas sparks and price is 300 or those Novels published in a particular year.

Project Operation

• It projects column(s) which satisfy a particular predicate (given predicate).
• Represented by Π A1, A2, An ( r ), where A 1, A 2, A n  are the attributes of relation r.
• As the relation is set, duplicate rows are automatically eliminated.
• Example – Π name, author (Novels), selects and projects columns named as ‘name’ and ‘author’ from the relation Novels.

Union Operation

• It performs the operation of binary union between two relations.
• It is a set operation.
• Represented by r s, where r and s are relations in database.
• The following criteria have to be satisfied for a union operation to be valid, called as union compatibility.
• R and s should have the same degree (same number of attributes in the relation).
• Duplicate tuples are eliminated automatically.
• Domains of the attribute must be compatible. Say if r and s are two relations, then the ith attribute of r should have the same domain as ith attribute of s.
• Example – Π author (Novels) Π author (Articles), projects the names of the authors who have written either a novel or an article or both.

Set Difference Operation

• It gives the result as tuples which are present in one relation but not in the other relation.
• It is a binary operation.
• Represented by Π author (Novels) – Π author (Articles), results in names of the authors who have written Novels but not the Articles.

Cartesian Product Operation

• It performs the function of combining information from two or more relations into one.
• Represented by r Χ s, where r and s are relations.
• Example – ‘ Nicholas_sparks ’ (Novels Χ Articles), provides a relation that shows all books and Articles by Nicholas sparks.

Rename Operation

• Results in relational algebra are just the relations without any name, the rename operation allows to rename the output relation.
• Represented by ρ X (E), where E is a resultant expression with the name given as x.
• Consider the example of a relation ‘ Nicholas_sparks ’ (Novels Χ Articles), which outputs all books and Articles by Nicholas sparks, this does not have any name. If required, it can be named as ρ newname [ Nicholas_sparks ’ (Novels Χ Articles)] where newname is the name given to it.

Other operations are

Intersection

Natural join

Intersection Operation

• It is a set operation, which selects only the common elements from two given relations.
• Example – Π author (Novels) Π author (Articles), provides the names of authors who have written both Novels and Articles.

Natural join operation

• It is a binary operation, combination of some selections and forms cartesian product of its two arguments.
• Forms cartesian product, then performs selection forcing equality on the attributes appearing in both relations and ultimately removes duplicate attributes.
• Represented by r |Χ| s, where r and s are relations.

Division operation

• This outputs the result as restriction of tuples in one relation to the name of attributes unique to it. In other words, restriction of tuples in the header of r but not in the header of s, for which it also indicates all combinations of tuples in r are present in s.
• Represented by r / s, where r and s are relations.

Assignment operation

• It is similar to assignment operator in programming languages.
• Denoted by ←
• It is useful in the situation where it is required to write relational algebra expressions by using temporary relation variables.
• The database might be modified if assignment to a permanent relation is made.

So these were the different types of operations in relational algebra.

Relational Algebra in DBMS: Operations with Examples

Relational Algebra

RELATIONAL ALGEBRA is a widely used procedural query language. It collects instances of relations as input and gives occurrences of relations as output. It uses various operations to perform this action. SQL Relational algebra query operations are performed recursively on a relation. The output of these operations is a new relation, which might be formed from one or more input relations.

Basic SQL Relational Algebra Operations

Unary relational operations.

• SELECT (symbol: σ)
• PROJECT (symbol: π)
• RENAME (symbol: ρ)

Relational Algebra Operations From Set Theory

• INTERSECTION ( ),
• DIFFERENCE (-)
• CARTESIAN PRODUCT ( x )

Binary Relational Operations

Let’s study them in detail with solutions:

The SELECT operation is used for selecting a subset of the tuples according to a given selection condition. Sigma(σ)Symbol denotes it. It is used as an expression to choose tuples which meet the selection condition. Select operator selects tuples that satisfy a given predicate.

σ is the predicate

r stands for relation which is the name of the table

p is prepositional logic

Output – Selects tuples from Tutorials where topic = ‘Database’.

Output – Selects tuples from Tutorials where the topic is ‘Database’ and ‘author’ is guru99.

Output – Selects tuples from Customers where sales is greater than 50000

Projection(π)

The projection eliminates all attributes of the input relation but those mentioned in the projection list. The projection method defines a relation that contains a vertical subset of Relation.

This helps to extract the values of specified attributes to eliminates duplicate values. (pi) symbol is used to choose attributes from a relation. This operator helps you to keep specific columns from a relation and discards the other columns.

Example of Projection:

Consider the following table

Here, the projection of CustomerName and status will give

Rename is a unary operation used for renaming attributes of a relation.

ρ (a/b)R will rename the attribute ‘b’ of relation by ‘a’.

Union operation (υ)

UNION is symbolized by ∪ symbol. It includes all tuples that are in tables A or in B. It also eliminates duplicate tuples. So, set A UNION set B would be expressed as:

The result <- A ∪ B

For a union operation to be valid, the following conditions must hold –

• R and S must be the same number of attributes.
• Attribute domains need to be compatible.
• Duplicate tuples should be automatically removed.

Consider the following tables.

A ∪ B gives

Set Difference (-)

– Symbol denotes it. The result of A – B, is a relation which includes all tuples that are in A but not in B.

• The attribute name of A has to match with the attribute name in B.
• The two-operand relations A and B should be either compatible or Union compatible.
• It should be defined relation consisting of the tuples that are in relation A, but not in B.

Intersection

An intersection is defined by the symbol ∩

Defines a relation consisting of a set of all tuple that are in both A and B. However, A and B must be union-compatible.

Cartesian Product(X) in DBMS

Cartesian Product in DBMS is an operation used to merge columns from two relations. Generally, a cartesian product is never a meaningful operation when it performs alone. However, it becomes meaningful when it is followed by other operations. It is also called Cross Product or Cross Join.

Example – Cartesian product

σ column 2 = ‘1’ (A X B)

Output – The above example shows all rows from relation A and B whose column 2 has value 1

Join Operations

Join operation is essentially a cartesian product followed by a selection criterion.

Join operation denoted by ⋈.

JOIN operation also allows joining variously related tuples from different relations.

Types of JOIN:

Various forms of join operation are:

Inner Joins:

• Natural join

Outer join:

• Left Outer Join
• Right Outer Join
• Full Outer Join

In an inner join, only those tuples that satisfy the matching criteria are included, while the rest are excluded. Let’s study various types of Inner Joins:

The general case of JOIN operation is called a Theta join. It is denoted by symbol θ

Theta join can use any conditions in the selection criteria.

For example:

When a theta join uses only equivalence condition, it becomes a equi join.

EQUI join is the most difficult operations to implement efficiently using SQL in an RDBMS and one reason why RDBMS have essential performance problems.

NATURAL JOIN (⋈)

Natural join can only be performed if there is a common attribute (column) between the relations. The name and type of the attribute must be same.

Consider the following two tables

In an outer join, along with tuples that satisfy the matching criteria, we also include some or all tuples that do not match the criteria.

Left Outer Join(A ⟕ B)

In the left outer join, operation allows keeping all tuple in the left relation. However, if there is no matching tuple is found in right relation, then the attributes of right relation in the join result are filled with null values.

Consider the following 2 Tables

Right Outer Join ( A ⟖ B )

In the right outer join, operation allows keeping all tuple in the right relation. However, if there is no matching tuple is found in the left relation, then the attributes of the left relation in the join result are filled with null values.

Full Outer Join ( A ⟗ B)

In a full outer join, all tuples from both relations are included in the result, irrespective of the matching condition.

PL/SQL difference between DEFAULT and assignment operator

I'm newbie in PL/SQL and this question might seem to be 'childish' so I'm sorry in advance, but Google didn't help me at all...

Is there any difference between following procedures?

I have checked them, so when I call both of them without args the output is 0 , but I'm not sure if there are any side effects.

2 Answers 2

If you follow Oracle's documentation

You can use the keyword DEFAULT instead of the assignment operator to initialize variables. You can also use DEFAULT to initialize subprogram parameters, cursor parameters, and fields in a user-defined record. Use DEFAULT for variables that have a typical value. Use the assignment operator for variables (such as counters and accumulators) that have no typical value.

So I guess internally is the same.

• 1 Hmm, that makes a lot of sense. Thanks a lot –  LibertyPaul Commented Sep 14, 2016 at 16:11
• 2 No guesswork required, they are the same. Although I don't understand the "No typical value" comment, that line defaults employee_count to 0 , there's literally no difference between default and := in this context. –  Jeffrey Kemp Commented Sep 15, 2016 at 3:37
• @JeffreyKemp I guess it goes under "Use the assignment operator for variables (such as counters and accumulators)". I actually always used DEFAULT on parameters and the operator to initialize variables. –  vercelli Commented Sep 15, 2016 at 7:16
• @JeffreyKemp On one hand employee_count can be changed by hiring/firing somebody, and it's normal situation, and on other - there is always 40 hours in a work week, changes in this value is not normal. –  LibertyPaul Commented Sep 15, 2016 at 9:55
• 1 They're the same. Don't mix them, your artificial distinction will be inscrutable to future developers. –  Jeffrey Kemp Commented Sep 15, 2016 at 11:10

Let's take a look to the documentation of the latest Oracle release (12c R1) at the moment of writing. You explicitly ask for subprogram parameters so let's take that first.

Default Values for IN Subprogram Parameters :

When you declare a formal IN parameter, you can specify a default value for it. A formal parameter with a default value is called an optional parameter, because its corresponding actual parameter is optional in a subprogram invocation. If the actual parameter is omitted, then the invocation assigns the default value to the formal parameter.

The documentation doesn't mention default keyword but it still works. Example (in 12c R1):

Prints 1, 2, 3 as expected.

However as it's not mentioned in the authorative documentation I discourage the use of default keyword in this context.

Other interesting context is Initial Values of Variables and Constants :

To specify the initial value, use either the assignment operator (:=) or the keyword DEFAULT, followed by an expression.

And that's the only time default keyword is mentioned. All documentation examples use assigment only.

Technically default keyword and assigment are the same and work in both contextes, but only assigment is promoted in the documentation. I think Oracle is effectively deprecating the default keyword in this context and thus I won't recommend the use of it in new PL/SQL code. Assigment operator makes the same job with zero fuss.

SQL Arithmetic operators

SQL provides five basic arithmetic operators, assume if a =10, b=20.

SQL Bitwise operators

Bitwise operators apply true false conditions on the individual binary bits of numbers

• Bitwise AND(&) : Returns true you only are both input bits are true otherwise false
• Bitwise OR(|) : Returns true if either of the input bits is true otherwise false
• Bitwise XOR(^) : Returns true only if both the input bits are different

SQL comparison(Relational)  operators

OR operator

SQL Special Operators

In operator.

BETWEEN Operator

• The details of those employees whose salary is present in the range between 800 to 2900 retrieved and it also considered specified values inclusive of the range
• In the case of between operator lower value is first specified and followed by the higher value  & and operator in between this higher and lower values.

LIKE  operator

All the records of employees whose name starting with letter ‘S’ are displayed.

IS NULL operator

All operations upon null values present in the table must be done using this ‘is null’ operator  . we cannot compare null value using the assignment operator

NOT  operator

Not operator is a negation operator which is used along with like between, is null, in operators, It performs  reverse r action of all these operators.

IS NOT NULL

NOT BETWEEN

Introduction In SQL, comparing dates is a common operation, especially when working with time-sensitive data such as events, appointments, or deadlines. Checking if a date is greater than today's date allows you to filter out records that are set to occur in the future. Key Steps in Writing the SQL Query Here are the main steps to write an SQL query that checks if a date is greater than today: Understanding the Date Functions : Most SQL databases provide functions to retrieve the current date and compare it with other dates. Writing the SQL Query : Craft the query using the appropriate date function and comparison operator. SQL Query Example To check if a date stored in a column (e.g., event_date) is greater than today's date, you can use a query like the following: SELECT * FROM your_table_name WHERE event_date > CURRENT_DATE; Explanation: CURRENT_DATE : This function returns the current date (without the time) based on the server's date settings. event_date > CURRENT_DATE : This condition checks whether the event_date is greater than today. Database-Specific Variations Different SQL databases might have slightly different functions to get the current date: MySQL : Use CURDATE() or CURRENT_DATE(). PostgreSQL : Use CURRENT_DATE. SQL Server : Use GETDATE() but you might need to strip the time portion if you're only comparing dates. Oracle : Use SYSDATE. Enhancing the Query To make the query more robust, consider the following enhancements: Time Consideration : If you're dealing with DATETIME or TIMESTAMP types, ensure you're only comparing the date portion. Timezone Handling : Be aware of timezone differences when working with dates, especially in distributed systems. By following these steps, you can create a query to efficiently check if a date is greater than today's date. This is a fundamental SQL operation useful in many applications, from filtering future events to enforcing deadlines. Crafting SQL queries to compare dates is an essential skill for database management and application development. Whether you're a student learning SQL or a professional working with databases, mastering date comparisons will enhance your ability to work with time-sensitive data.

Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris announced Tuesday that Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz will be her running mate. That puts someone with an enlisted background on both presidential tickets after Republican nominee former President Donald Trump chose Marine veteran Sen. JD Vance of Ohio as his running mate. Patrick Murphy, an Army veteran who was Walz' roommate when they were both freshmen in Congress, called Walz a "soldier's soldier."

"He was a field artilleryman who has tinnitus as diagnosed by the VA, so he understands the plight of our brother and sister veterans." Walz enlisted in the Army National Guard in Nebraska in 1981 and retired honorably in 2005 as the top enlisted soldier for 1st Battalion, 125th Field Artillery Regiment, in the Minnesota National Guard, according to a copy of his records provided by the Minnesota Guard. He reached the rank of command sergeant major and served in that role, but he officially retired as a master sergeant for benefits purposes because he didn't finish a required training course, according to the records and a statement from the Minnesota Guard. His Guard career included responding to natural disasters in the United States, as well as a deployment to Italy to support U.S. operations in Afghanistan, according to a 2018 article by Minnesota Public Radio . Walz earned several awards, including the Army Commendation Medal and two Army Achievement Medals, according to his military records. Working a civilian job as a high school teacher and football coach, the Nebraska native was also named that state's Citizen Soldier of the Year in 1989, according to official biographies. During the 2022 Minnesota governor's race, Walz' opponent accused him of leaving the Guard when he did in order to avoid a deployment to Iraq, though Walz maintained he retired in order to focus on running for Congress, according to the Star Tribune newspaper . Far-right commentators and media resurfaced those allegations and knocked him for never serving in combat -- something he has never claimed to do -- in contrast with Vance's deployment to Iraq as a combat correspondent. "Looks like it is time to bring back Swift Boat Veterans for Truth. Oof. Walz is a really unforced error. He bailed on the military when they decided to send him to Iraq. JD Vance actually served," conservative talk radio host Erick Erickson posted on social media Tuesday. Walz was first elected to the House of Representatives in 2006, becoming the highest-ranking retired enlisted soldier to serve in Congress. His tenure in Congress included sitting on the House Veterans Affairs Committee, rising to be its ranking member in 2017. "Walz' leadership on behalf of his fellow veterans when he was in the U.S. House of Representatives is notable at a time when our all-volunteer force continues to struggle to recruit," Allison Jaslow, CEO of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, said in a statement praising the choice of a veteran to be vice presidential nominee. "How we care for our veterans is as important to our national security as how we care for our troops, and Walz has a record to prove that he understands that imperative." As the top Democrat on the committee, Walz was a chief adversary for the Trump administration's Department of Veterans Affairs . He battled with then-acting VA Secretary Peter O'Rourke in 2018 during a standoff over O'Rourke's handling of the inspector general's office, and pushed for an investigation into the influence of a trio of informal VA advisers who were members of Trump's Mar-a-Lago club. An investigation by House Democrats completed after Walz left Congress concluded that the so-called Mar-a-Lago trio "violated the law and sought to exert improper influence over government officials to further their own personal interests." Walz also opposed the Mission Act, the bill that expanded veterans' access to VA-funded care by non-VA doctors that Trump considers one of his signature achievements. Walz said in statements at the time that, while he agreed the program for veterans to seek outside care needed to be fixed, he believed the Mission Act did not have sustainable funding. VA officials in recent years have said community care costs have ballooned following the Mission Act. Walz supported another bill that Trump touts as a top achievement, the Department of Veterans Affairs Accountability and Whistleblower Protection Act, which sought to make it easier for the VA to fire employees accused of misconduct or poor performance. But the implementation of that law was later part of Walz' fight with O'Rourke . The law also faced legal challenges that prompted the Biden administration to stop using the expedited firing authorities granted by the bill. Walz was also an early proponent of doing more for veterans exposed to toxins during their military service, sponsored a major veterans suicide prevention bill and advocated for the expansion of GI Bill benefits. And he repeatedly pushed the VA to study marijuana usage to treat PTSD and chronic pain, something that could come up in a future administration if the Department of Justice finalizes reclassifying marijuana into a category of drugs considered less dangerous. Walz' time in Congress also included a stint on the House Armed Services Committee, a perch he used to advocate for benefits for members of the National Guard . Walz consistently voted in support of the annual defense policy bill, as well as advocated for repealing the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy that effectively banned gay and lesbian service members. "He was my battle buddy in the fight to repeal 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell,' and it wouldn't have happened if we didn't have Command Sgt. Maj. Tim Walz helping lead the fight," Murphy said. Since becoming governor of Minnesota in 2019, Walz' role as commander in chief of the Minnesota National Guard has come under a spotlight several times. In response to a request from the Minneapolis mayor, he activated the Guard in May 2020 to assist law enforcement when some protests over the Minneapolis police killing of George Floyd turned destructive. At the time, Minneapolis' mayor accused Walz of being too slow to order the deployment, a charge he denied. "It is time to rebuild. Rebuild the city, rebuild our justice system, and rebuild the relationship between law enforcement and those they're charged to protect," Walz said in a statement when he announced the activation. He also activated the Guard to protect the Minnesota state Capitol in January 2021 amid fears that Trump supporters could riot at state houses like they did at the U.S. Capitol that month. And he's used the Guard for missions that are more routine for the service, such as to help after heavy flooding earlier this summer . As news broke Tuesday of Walz' selection, he quickly won praise from other Democratic veterans. "Having a person who wore the uniform and who deployed around the world adds to the ticket someone who can connect with veterans and military families in a way that no one but a veteran can," Jon Soltz, chairman of liberal political action committee VoteVets, said in a statement. -- Steve Beynon contributed to this story.
