I am getting a syntax error (1064) at line 10 ''. The line 10 is the line with the FROM.
I tried without delimiter. I tried adding ";" after the "stg_mytable". I tried with just "SELECT 1 as cname" in the stored procedure body. I tried in the UI of HeidiSQL instead of commands.
Here's the code:
DELIMITER $$
CREATE PROCEDURE MySP()
BEGIN
INSERT INTO dbo_mytable
(ColumnStr, OtherColumn)
SELECT ColumnStr, OtherColumn
FROM stg_mytable
END $$
DELIMITER ;
Apparently, HeidiSQL and DBeaver have difficulties with delimiters. I have successfully created my stored procedure in MySQL Workbench.

I have a problem with this, and I keep getting this error
MySQL said: Documentation
1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 5.
Do you have any ideas for why I keep getting this error?
DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS `prn_insert`;
CREATE PROCEDURE `prn_insert`(id int, name text, description text)
BEGIN
insert into test
select id,name,description;
END
The semicolon is ending the CREATE PROCEDURE statement. To get the entire statement, use a delimiter other than a semicolon. We frequently use $$ (two dollar signs) as a delimiter, but you can use any character sequence that doesn't appear within the statement(s) you want to execute.
For example:
DELIMITER $$
DROP PROCEDURE myproc $$
CREATE PROCEDURE myproc(arg INT)
BEGIN
DECLARE i INT DEFAULT 0;
SET i = 1;
END$$
DELIMITER ;
Once the new delimiter is set, it stays in effect until it's changed to something else. So. we usually want to set it back to semicolon immediately after the `CREATE PROCEDURE' statement.
I'm running Workbench 5.2.47.
I have a long procedure I wrote with basic data checking. If a record did not exist in the database, the record would be inserted.
The procedure saved with no problems, but MySQL 5.5 throws an error when I try running it.
It is long, and has a lot of company sensitive data in it, or I would post it here.
I am trying to debug the procedure by executing small chunks of the code, but I can't seem to get Workbench to allow anything I try.
MySQL shows how to create a stored procedure in 5.1.5 Working with Stored Procedures.
Let me show you something very basic I am trying to write:
DELIMITER $$
DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS my_test;
CREATE PROCEDURE my_test()
BEGIN
SELECT * FROM Employees;
END $$
DELIMITER ;
With that, Workbench gives me the error, "syntax error, unexpected CREATE, expecting $end".
I don't understand that, but I need to get something done, so I am moving on.
I make a simpler query:
SET #Count=(SELECT Count(*) FROM tbl_object_users WHERE username='jp2code');
IF (#Count < 1) THEN
INSERT INTO tbl_object_users (username, date_time) VALUES ('jp2code', NOW());
END IF;
Again, I get an error, this time on my IF statement.
Next, I go into PhpMyAdmin to try running something from there using its database:
SET #Count=Count(id) FROM `tbl_object_users` WHERE `username`='jp2code';
It, too, tells me I have an error in my SQL syntax.
I did download and install the newest Workbench 6, but it did not solve the problem - and I did not like the interface, so I uninstalled it and went back to Workbench 5.2.
What is going on? SQL isn't that hard, so what is with these hurdles?
Problem with this:
DELIMITER $$
DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS my_test;
CREATE PROCEDURE my_test() ...
is that MySQL isn't seeing the semicolon at the end of the DROP PROCEDURE statement line as the end of the statement. This is because the preceding line told MySQL that the statement terminator was something other than a semicolon. You told MySQL that statements were going to be terminated with two dollar signs. So MySQL is reading the DROP PROCEDURE line, looking for the statement terminator. And the whole blob it reads is NOT a valid MySQL statement, it generates a syntax error.
The fix: either move the DROP PROCEDURE line before the DELIMITER $$ line; or terminate the DROP PROCEDURE statement with the specified delimiter rather than a semicolon.
The second problem you report is a syntax error. That's occurring because MySQL doesn't recognize IF as the beginning of a valid SQL statement.
The IF statement is valid only within the context of a MySQL stored program (for example, within a CREATE PROCEDURE statement.)
The fix: Use an IF statement only within the context of a MySQL stored program.
The third problem you report is also a syntax error. That's occurring because you don't have a valid syntax for a SET statement; MySQL syntax for SET statement to assign a value to user variable is:
SET #uservar = expr
MySQL is expecting an expression after the equals sign. MySQL is not expecting a SQL statement.
To assign a value to a user variable as the result from a SELECT statement, do the assignment within the SELECT statement, for example:
SELECT #Count := Count(id) FROM `tbl_object_users` WHERE `username`='jp2code'
Note that the assignment operator inside the SELECT statement is := (colon equals), not just =.
try this
DELIMITER $$
DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS my_test$$
CREATE PROCEDURE my_test()
BEGIN
SELECT * FROM `customer_to_pay`;
END $$
DELIMITER ;
when I change Delimeter from mysql console or MySQL Workbench I do not get any error,
but when I embed the same code in ruby on rails I get error
mysql> DELIMITER $$
mysql>
gives no error.
but
ActiveRecord::Base.connection.execute(%Q{
DELIMITER $$
})
gives:
ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid: Mysql2::Error: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'DELIMITER $$' at line 1:
The top answer is correct (Rails cannot execute DELIMITER because it is a MYSQL command), but #ishandutta2007's follow up question was not answered, so I'll answer that here.
DELIMITER is often used to wrap mysql function and procedure bodies; to achieve this in rails simply wrap the procedure body in it's own execute statement.
So for instance code that might read like:
execute <<-SQL
DROP FUNCTION IF EXISTS MyFunc;
DELIMITER $$
CREATE FUNCTION My Func
. . .
$$
DELIMITER ;
SQL
Would instead become the following, with the multiple execute calls acting as the 'scoping' intended by redefining the delimiter:
execute 'DROP FUNCTION IF EXISTS MyFunc'
execute <<-SQL
CREATE FUNCTION My Func
. . .
SQL
DELIMITER is actually a MySQL command line setting, not SQL: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/mysql-commands.html. That means that you can't set the delimiter in this way.
On top of that, it wouldn't help if you could as ActiveRecord::Base.connection.execute only allows you to execute one statement at a time out of the box (see http://www.seanr.ca/tech/?p=75).
So I have this stored proc that will not get created when I run the file.
DELIMITER //
DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS msd.test_proc//
CREATE PROCEDURE msd.test_proc()
BEGIN
SELECT
'Hello proc'
FROM
msd.zipcode_lookup;
END//
DELIMITER ;
When I run this I get an error code 1064 at line 1 when I execute in RazorSQL. Here is the complete error message:
ERROR: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version
for the right syntax to use near '//
CREATE PROCEDURE msd.test_proc()
BEGIN
SELECT
'Hello proc'
FROM ' at line 1
Error Code:1064
I've tried other variations and still get errors. I am sure this is something basic I am missing. I appreciate any help.
Thanks.
As stated on the RazorSQL website:
The DELIMITER statement is not part of the MySQL language. It is a command supported by certain MySQL tools. This command tells those MySQL programs to scan for a certain character that indicates the end of a query or statement.
RazorSQL does not support using the DELIMITER command. The SQL statement delimiter value used by RazorSQL can be changed using the preferences window. The default values is the semi-colon.
i am executing a procedure in mysql, procedure is-
delimiter $$
create procedure getFacility (in id int, out MyFacility VARCHAR(200))
begin
select Facility into MyFacility
from facilities
where FacilityID = id ;
end $$
delimiter ;
and it is giving error below-
Error Code : 1064
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'end $$
delimiter' at line 1
(0 ms taken)
how to solve this error?
Thanks,

I think the error is because of the space between END and $$.
Try END$$ and it should compile properly.
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/create-procedure.html
i had the same issue... my solution was to just remove the delimiter operator call on line one, and remove the delimiter after 'END'... it seems JDBC just doesn't like that operator.
it would also be really nice if MYSQL gave some more precision on syntax errors.
