Stored Procedure - create a cursor - accept an OUT parameter - mysql

I was hoping to get some help the the below question, unfortunately the script I have created isn't working. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Question:
Write a script that creates a stored procedure named test. This stored procedure should create a cursor for a result set that consists of the product_name and list_price columns for each product with a list price that’s greater than $700. The rows in this result set should be sorted in descending sequence by list price. The stored procedure should accept an OUT parameter where a message is passed out of the procedure. Then, the procedure should set the out parameter to a string variable that includes the product_name and list price for each product so it looks something like this:
Gibson SG,2517.00|Gibson Les Paul,1199.00|
Here, each value is enclosed in asterisk(*), each column is separated by a comma (,) and each row is separated by a pipe character (|).
My script:
CREATE PROCEDURE test( OUT message VARCHAR(200) )
BEGIN
DECLARE product_name_var VARCHAR(50);
DECLARE list_price_var DECIMAL(9,2);
DECLARE row_not_found TINYINT DEFAULT FALSE;
DECLARE s_var VARCHAR(400) DEFAULT '';
DECLARE invoice_cursor CURSOR for
SELECT
product_name,
list_price
FROM
products
WHERE
list_price > 700
ORDER BY list_price DESC;
DECLARE CONTINUE HANDLER FOR NOT FOUND
SET row_not_found = TRUE;
OPEN invoice_cursor;
FETCH invoice_cursor INTO product_name_var, list_price_var;
WHILE row_not_found = FALSE DO
SET s_var = CONCAT(s_var,'*', product_name_var,'*,*',list_price_var,'*|');
FETCH invoice_cursor INTO product_name_var, list_price_var;
END WHILE;
SELECT s_var AS message;
END

SELECT s_var AS message; - message is seen as an alias
use
SET MESSAGE = s_var ;

MySQL stored procedure output issue for a particular query

I'm trying to write a query for my final year project that would allow me to identify whether students prefer modules in a university degree with less exam weighting. I got help from someone and he suggested that I could use MySQL stored procedures to do that query.
Here is what I got so far:
DELIMITER //
CREATE PROCEDURE ModuleExamWeight()
BEGIN
DECLARE EnrollmentCount INT Default 0;
--DECLARE Outputresult varchar(255) DEFAULT "";
--DECLARE output1 INT Default 0;
--DECLARE output2 INT Default 0;
DECLARE finished INT DEFAULT 0;
DECLARE Clist varchar(255) DEFAULT "";
DECLARE c1 CURSOR FOR SELECT MODULEID FROM Modules ORDER BY Examweight;
-- declare NOT FOUND handler
DECLARE CONTINUE HANDLER
FOR NOT FOUND SET finished = 1;
-- open module cursor
OPEN c1;
-- loop through module cursor by getting the number of enrollments per module
MODULES_LIST : LOOP
FETCH c1 INTO Clist;
SELECT ModuleID, COUNT(StudentID) INTO EnrollmentCount FROM ModuleEnrollment;
IF finished = 1 THEN
LEAVE MODULES_LIST;
END IF;
END LOOP MODULES_LIST;
CLOSE c1;
-- This is like my first idea which doesn't work in order to print out the results.
-- SELECT ModuleID, ExamWeight, #EnrollmentCount FROM ModuleEnrollment;
END //
DELIMITER ;
Basically I want to print out the result of this query such as this:
Display ModuleID for each module
Display Exam Weighting for them
Display the values of the enrollment count variable for them.
However, I do not know how do that in a MySQL stored procedure.It would be nice if someone could help me on that. Thank you. I hope my question makes sense.

Compare string with select statement mysql

i have to make a function in mysql that returns 0 or 1.
DELIMITER //
drop function compruebacuenta//
CREATE FUNCTION compruebacuenta(ncliente INT) RETURNS INT
BEGIN
DECLARE fin int default 0;
DECLARE cuenta varchar(30);
DECLARE cliente varchar(30);
DECLARE cuentacliente varchar(30);
select codigo_cliente FROM clientes where codigo_cliente=ncliente into cuentacliente;
RETURN fin;
END;
//
user gives a number when calling the function i.e select function(1);
what i do then is get the cod for a client with that given code (I know a bit redundant , but whatever); and store it in a variable called cuentacliente;
What i need to do now is get a query like this one
select cod_cliente from cuentas;
store that in another and I want to know how can I compare lets say a 10 , to see if there's a 10 in the resulting query.
I'm thinking that perhaps i need a cursor that fetches each row and compare that with what's in cuentacliente.

Temporary table definition in MySQL

I have a stored procedure which uses temporary tables so that I can summarize the sales of all the products within a certain product category. When I tried to run the code it failed. I search on google and here on stackoverflow but couldn't find what I had done wrong. I'm using MySQL server 5.5 on Windows Server.
CREATE PROCEDURE `getStatistics`(IN `startDate` date,IN `endDate` date,IN `categoryName` varchar)
BEGIN
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE procResult(productName VARCHAR, amount INT);
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE tblProductID(SELECT ID, `name` FROM product WHERE categoryID = (SELECT ID FROM category WHERE `name` = categoryName));
DECLARE done_amt, done_PID INT DEFAULT FALSE;
DECLARE amount, productID INT DEFAULT 0;
DECLARE pidCursor CURSOR FOR SELECT ID, `name` FROM tblProductID;
DECLARE amtCursor CURSOR FOR SELECT orderlines.amount FROM orderlines WHERE orderlines.productID = productID;
DECLARE CONTINUE HANDLER FOR NOT FOUND SET done_amt = TRUE;
DECLARE CONTINUE HANDLER FOR NOT FOUND SET done_PID = TRUE;
OPEN pidCursor;
pid_loop:LOOP
DECLARE productName VARCHAR;
FETCH pidCursor INTO productID, productName;
IF done_PID THEN
LEAVE pid_LOOP;
END IF;
OPEN amtCursor;
amt_loop:LOOP
DECLARE tmpAmount INT DEFAULT 0;
FETCH amtCursor INTO tmpAmount;
IF done_amt THEN
LEAVE amt_loop;
END IF;
amount = amount + tmpAmount;
END LOOP;
CLOSE amtCursor;
IF amount > 0 THEN
INSERT INTO procResult VALUES (productName, amount);
amount = 0;
END IF;
END LOOP;
CLOSE pidCursor;
END;
You must define the length of VARCHAR type variables, such as the categoryName parameter to your stored procedure;
You must DECLARE all local variables at the very start of a BEGIN ... END compound statement block, before any other commands;
Your syntax for CREATE TABLE ... SELECT is incorrect;
You have declared two handlers for the same SQL condition, only one of which will be executed (indeterminately);
You will need to change your client's statement delimiter in order for it to understand that the semicolons appearing within the procedure body do not terminate the CREATE PROCEDURE statement;
Your entire procedure is an extremely complicated way of doing a fairly simple task in SQL:
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE procResult
SELECT product.name, SUM(orderlines.amount) AS amount
FROM orderlines
JOIN product ON product.ID = orderlines.productID
JOIN category ON category.ID = product.categoryID
WHERE category.name = ?
GROUP BY product.ID
HAVING amount > 0

Mysql FETCH CURSOR result ununderstood

I've been Googleing around for a while and I am sure that the problem is that I don't understand clearly how CURSORs in MySQL work.
A short explanation of the problem: I'm writing such function (simplified):
CREATE DEFINER=`me`#`localhost` FUNCTION `product_move`(prID INT, tr_type VARCHAR(2), clID INT, am INT, dnID INT, usrID INT, price FLOAT(10,2), ti DATETIME, barc TINYTEXT, cmt TINYTEXT, lnID INT)
BEGIN
DECLARE done INT DEFAULT FALSE;
DECLARE cur_id INT;
DECLARE net_pr FLOAT(10,2);
DECLARE cur_r INT;
DECLARE remaind INT DEFAULT 0;
DECLARE avg_price FLOAT(10,2) DEFAULT 0;
DECLARE curs CURSOR FOR SELECT `products_transactionsID`,
`price`,
`remains`
FROM `products_transactions`
WHERE `productID`=prID AND `remains`>0 AND `type`='V'
ORDER BY `products_transactionsID` ASC;
DECLARE CONTINUE HANDLER FOR NOT FOUND SET done = TRUE;
OPEN curs;
SET remaind=am;
read_loop:LOOP
FETCH curs INTO cur_id,net_pr,cur_r;
IF done THEN
LEAVE read_loop;
END IF;
IF (cur_r>=remaind) THEN
SET avg_price = avg_price + (net_pr * remaind);
UPDATE `products_transactions` SET `remains`=`remains`-remaind WHERE products_transactionsID=cur_id;
LEAVE read_loop;
ELSE
SET avg_price = avg_price + (net_pr * cur_r);
SET remaind=remaind-cur_r;
UPDATE `products_transactions` SET `remains`=0 WHERE products_transactionsID=cur_id;
END IF;
END LOOP;
CLOSE curs;
SET avg_price=avg_price/am;
INSERT INTO products_transactions
(`products_transactionsID`,`clientID`,`date_created`,`delivery_notesID`,`type`,`productID`,`amountIN`,`amountOUT`,`barcodes`,`in_stock`,`out_stock`,`out_repair`,`out_loss`,`booked`,`ordered`,`userID`,`price`,`comments`,`fifo_buy_price`)
SELECT NULL, clID, ti, dnID , tr_type, prID, 0, am, barc, products_transactions.in_stock-am, products_transactions.out_stock,
products_transactions.out_repair, products_transactions.out_loss, products_transactions.booked, products_transactions.ordered,usrID,price,cmt,avg_price
FROM
products_transactions WHERE productID=prID ORDER BY products_transactionsID DESC LIMIT 1;
So, we insert a new row in this table, based upon some calculations from the previously selected rows and updating these rows meanwhile.
The problem is with the avg_price variable, which should be calculated based on the net_pr variable which is FETCH'ed from the cursor. But somehow, instead of being FETCH'ed from the SELECT, the net_pr variable takes the value of the price input parameter of my function! How is that possible?
My guesses have been so far:
a variable name conflict? Searched through the code but I can't find any.
updating the table within the LOOP could make the CURSOR loose its position? It would make sense, but that wouldn't result in this, either...
I'd apreciate any ideas.
Two things that I can see:
1) Don't update the table that you're using in the cursor. MySQL says the cursor is read only but I wouldn't trust this. Set your value, exit the cursor, and then update the table.
2) Using the same name for a variable in the proc definition and a column in a select gives a conflict: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/local-variable-scope.html
"A local variable should not have the same name as a table column. If an SQL statement, such as a SELECT ... INTO statement, contains a reference to a column and a declared local variable with the same name, MySQL currently interprets the reference as the name of a variable. "

How to insert multiple rows based on a quantity value in one row?

In MySQL, I am converting a table from a single row per item type (a quantity of items) to a single row per item, so that additional detail can be stored about individual items.
Here is an example source table:
id parent_id qty item_type
-- --------- --- ---------
1 10291 2 widget
2 10292 4 thinger
I want to create a new table with a new column containing info that cannot be applied to more than one item. Thus, the above table would end up as follows:
id parent_id item_type info
-- --------- --------- ----
1 10291 widget [NULL]
2 10291 widget [NULL]
3 10292 thinger [NULL]
4 10292 thinger [NULL]
5 10292 thinger [NULL]
6 10292 thinger [NULL]
Is there a way I can iterate or loop each row of the source table, inserting a number of records equal to the source qty column? I would prefer to do this in sql instead of code to keep all of the conversion steps together (there are many others).
You can do with stored procedure. That will be like below. Below is stored procedure I am using for inserting products into log based on their quantity.
Seem you have to do similar task. You can get how to use database cursor in stored procedure to loop over a result set in MySQL from below example.
DELIMITER $$
DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS CursorProc$$
CREATE PROCEDURE CursorProc()
BEGIN
DECLARE no_more_products, quantity_in_stock INT DEFAULT 0;
DECLARE prd_code VARCHAR(255);
DECLARE cur_product CURSOR FOR
SELECT productCode FROM products;
DECLARE CONTINUE HANDLER FOR NOT FOUND
SET no_more_products = 1;
/* for loggging information */
CREATE TABLE infologs (
Id int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
Msg varchar(255) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (Id)
);
OPEN cur_product;
FETCH cur_product INTO prd_code;
REPEAT
SELECT quantityInStock INTO quantity_in_stock
FROM products
WHERE productCode = prd_code;
IF quantity_in_stock < 100 THEN
INSERT INTO infologs(msg)
VALUES (prd_code);
END IF;
FETCH cur_product INTO prd_code;
UNTIL no_more_products = 1
END REPEAT;
CLOSE cur_product;
SELECT * FROM infologs;
DROP TABLE infologs;
END$$
DELIMITER;
Seems your task is 90% same as above procedure. Just do needful changes. It will work.
I think you can create stored procedure, declare a cursor that reads source table and for each row inserts qty rows into destination table.
Based on other answers which provided some insight, I was able to find additional information (by Kevin Bedell) to create a stored procedure and use a cursor in a loop. I have simplified my solution so that it matches the example in my question:
DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS proc_item_import;
DELIMITER $$
CREATE PROCEDURE proc_item_import()
BEGIN
# Declare variables to read records from the cursor
DECLARE parent_id_val INT(10) UNSIGNED;
DECLARE item_type_val INT(10) UNSIGNED;
DECLARE quantity_val INT(3);
# Declare variables for cursor and loop control
DECLARE no_more_rows BOOLEAN;
DECLARE item_qty INT DEFAULT 0;
# Declare the cursor
DECLARE item_cur CURSOR FOR
SELECT
i.parent_id, i.qty, i.item_type
FROM items i;
# Declare handlers for exceptions
DECLARE CONTINUE HANDLER FOR NOT FOUND
SET no_more_rows = TRUE;
# Open the cursor and loop through results
OPEN item_cur;
input_loop: LOOP
FETCH item_cur
INTO parent_id_val, item_type_val, quantity_val;
# Break out of the loop if there were no records or all have been processed
IF no_more_rows THEN
CLOSE item_cur;
LEAVE input_loop;
END IF;
SET item_qty = 0;
qty_loop: LOOP
INSERT INTO items_new
(parent_id, item_type)
SELECT
parent_id_val, item_type_val;
SET item_qty = item_qty + 1;
IF item_qty >= quantity_val THEN
LEAVE qty_loop;
END IF;
END LOOP qty_loop;
END LOOP input_loop;
END$$
DELIMITER ;
Before asking this question, I had not used a stored procedures, cursors, or loops. That said, I have read and encountered them frequently on SE and elsewhere, and this was a good opportunity to learn
It may be worth noting that the example on Kevin's page (linked above) does not use END%% (just END) which caused some headache in trying to get the script to work. When creating a procedure, it is necessary to change the delimiter temporarily so that semicolons terminate statements inside the procedure, but not the creation process of the procedure itself.
That is just an example of code that I have here, it is not adapted to your needs, but it does exactly what you need, and it is simple than a procedure, or temporary table.
SELECT event, id, order_ref, storeitem_barcode_create(8), NOW()
FROM (
SELECT mss.id, mss.event, mss.order_ref, mss.quantity, mss.product_id,
#rowID := IF(#lastProductID = mss.product_id AND #lastID = mss.id, #rowID + 1, 0) AS rowID,
#lastProductID := mss.product_id,
#lastID := mss.id
FROM module_barcode_generator mbg,
(SELECT #rowID := 0, #lastProductID := 0, #lastID := 0) t
INNER JOIN module_events_store_sold mss ON mss.order_ref = "L18T2P"
) tbl
WHERE rowId < quantity;
Typo in JYelton's solution for his/her own question:
FETCH item_cur
INTO parent_id_val, item_type_val, quantity_val;
Should be:
FETCH item_cur
INTO parent_id_val, quantity_val, item_type_val;
Otherwise very good.
