AFAIK SET and VALUES INTO work in the same way.
SET and VALUES INTO work both if a single value is to be returned from a
function or if a single row is to be returned.
The only difference I know is, VALUES INTO can be used with dynamic SQL,
while SET cannot be used with dynamic SQL.

Any thoughts on if it's better to use the SQL construct 'VALUES ...
INTO' or 'SET' to assign a value using a SQL function?
Are you saying you can use SET to get a value from a table column?
If so, I didn't know you could do that. And, if so, then I would say that
SET would be fine for a single value/column where VALUES...INTO would be
used for multiple columns.
Sincerely,
