MySQL: Combining all results from a LOOP (possibly with UNION?) - mysql

Question

EDIT: already solved and answered: but feel free to read along and see how the process went if you have similar questions
BACKGROUND
I created a procedure called 'sea_dew_potion' and placed it within a loop called 'loopseadew'. the loop works as intended.
QUESTION
My loop produced 18 results, but I would like it to be in a single result set so I can export it to tableau to make a line graph with multiple data points to make some form of curve. After some research I think a UNION would work but I'm not sure how to go about it, mostly cause I just figured out how loops work and then how to fit another procedure within a loop haha. Thanks for the help!
DELIMITER $$
CREATE PROCEDURE loopseadew(IN p_base_name VARCHAR(255), IN p_base_amount integer, IN p_ing_name VARCHAR(255), p_ing_amount integer, p_pot_units INTEGER(3))
BEGIN
DECLARE p_ing_amount int;
SET p_ing_amount = 0;
loop1: LOOP
SET p_ing_amount = p_ing_amount + 1;
CALL sea_dew_potion('sea dew', 100, 'skadite', 0, 10);
IF p_ing_amount = 18 THEN
LEAVE loop1;
END IF;
END LOOP loop1;
SELECT p_base_name, p_base_amount, p_ing_name, p_ing_amount,
m.price * p_ing_amount AS cost
FROM
multiplier m
WHERE
m.ing_name = p_ing_name;
END$$
DELIMITER ;
EDIT: im getting some progress, but i am getting null values for columns 'heal' and 'cost'. values for heal is produced the procedure "sea_dew_potion". Right now i get 18 individual results with all the correct values, and one result with all the results combined but null values for heal and cost.
Screenshots at the bottom to show the problem between the result sets.

EDIT PART 2
Shout out to #blabla_bingo i finally got it! Here is the final query for anyone interested haha
CREATE PROCEDURE allloopseadew(IN p_base_name VARCHAR(255), IN p_base_amount integer, IN p_ing_name VARCHAR(255), p_ing_amount integer, p_pot_units INTEGER(3))
BEGIN

DECLARE v_heal decimal(10,3);
DECLARE v_cost decimal(10,3);
DECLaRE v_total_amount int(3);
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE allresults (p_base_name varchar(255), p_base_amount int(3), p_ing_name VARCHAR(255), p_ing_amount int(3), heal decimal(10,2), cost decimal(10,2));
SET x = 0;
loop1: LOOP
SET x = x + 1;
SET v_total_amount =
(SELECT p_base_amount + x);
SET v_heal =
(SELECT
round(max((2*(2.1*(p_base_amount/v_total_amount))*1*(1+sqrt(x/v_total_amount)*m.multiplier_value)*p_pot_units)),3)
FROM
multiplier m
WHERE
m.ing_name = p_ing_name);
SET v_cost =
(SELECT
m.price * x
FROM
multiplier m
WHERE
m.ing_name = p_ing_name);
CALL sea_dew_potion('sea dew', 100, 'skadite', x, 10);
IF x = 18 THEN
LEAVE loop1;
END IF;
INSERT INTO allresults
VALUES(p_base_name, p_base_amount, p_ing_name, x, v_heal, v_cost);
END LOOP loop1;
SELECT p_base_name, p_base_amount, p_ing_name, p_ing_amount,
m.price * p_ing_amount AS cost
FROM
multiplier m
WHERE
m.ing_name = p_ing_name;
SELECT * FROM allresults;
END$$
DELIMITER ;
all results with no heal or cost
individual result with heal and cost
Final correct result with query

Answer 1

UNION has its drawbacks such as being unable to sort out using ORDER BY clause. Besides, a total of 17 UNION need to be used in this case if you decides to go along, which makes the query drag on too much. I would suggest use a result table and have your procedure sea_dew_potion insert into it. Then you can query the result table and probably make some adjustment before exporting into your tableau table. Finally,as a side note, instead of calling the sea_dew_potion 18 times in a loop, we can also add a count parameter for the procedure sea_dew_potion ,so that we only need to define the count number and run the procedure once. e.g sea_dew_potion(p1,p2,p3,p4,p5,count_num int).
