What is wrong in the following code (please forgive me for very basic question)
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 '' at line 3
CREATE PROCEDURE `getCleanData` ()
BEGIN
replace into CLEAN_TBL SELECT mycolumn FROM DIRTY_TBL;
END;
You need to change the DELIMITER to something else than the default ;.
A DELIMITER tells whe the command ends. By default the delimiter is ;. As procedure itself uses ; in it's syntax (end of statement), you need to change the DELIMITER to something else to that the full procedure code will be executed.
Step 01: change server delimiter -->
DELIMITER //
Step 02: create your procedure with new delimiter you used in step 01
CREATE PROCEDURE `getCleanData` ()
BEGIN
replace into CLEAN_TBL SELECT mycolumn FROM DIRTY_TBL;
END
//
DON'T TRY TO REVERT THE DELIMITER
Right way to do from experts are welcome, because I am not sure what is the right way.....but I feel not having the default delimiter for CREATE PROCEDURE is wrong.

Hey I'm leraning right now for my study Exams.
I have a Problem with Procedures and Functions.
CREATE PROCEDURE testProc()
BEGIN
DECLARE testNR INT;
END
This is my testCode but every Procedure and every Function gives me this Failure:
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 '' at line 3
SQLState: 42000
ErrorCode: 1064
Error occurred in:
CREATE PROCEDURE testProc()
BEGIN
DECLARE testNR INT
Is there something that I do wrong or do I have Problems with my IDE SQuirrel?
You need to change delimiters while creating the procedure; otherwise ; is seen as the end of the CREATE PROCEDURE statement.
As explained in the docs, you need to
use[] the mysql client delimiter command to change the statement delimiter from ; to // while the procedure is being defined. This enables the ; delimiter used in the procedure body to be passed through to the server rather than being interpreted by mysql itself. See Section 23.1, “Defining Stored Programs”.
It doesn’t have to be //; another common choice is $$.
In your example, this might look like
DELIMITER $$
CREATE PROCEDURE testProc()
BEGIN
DECLARE testNR INT;
END
$$
DELIMITER ;
I have a problem with this, and I keep getting this error
MySQL said: Documentation
1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 5.
Do you have any ideas for why I keep getting this error?
DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS `prn_insert`;
CREATE PROCEDURE `prn_insert`(id int, name text, description text)
BEGIN
insert into test
select id,name,description;
END
The semicolon is ending the CREATE PROCEDURE statement. To get the entire statement, use a delimiter other than a semicolon. We frequently use $$ (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$$
DELIMITER ;
Once the new delimiter is set, it stays in effect until it's changed to something else. So. we usually want to set it back to semicolon immediately after the `CREATE PROCEDURE' statement.
I am trying to make a procedure to update an existing user. It receives the name of the user and then increments his points column. I have it like this:
CREATE PROCEDURE addPoints (IN nomeus varchar(20))
BEGIN
UPDATE User
SET
points=points+1
WHERE (nome=nomeus) ;
END;
However, I get this error:
#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 8
How can I fix it?
When in doubt just go to dev.mysql they have some great documentation there.
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/create-procedure.html
Looks like you found the answer to your own question. However, if you change any of the code in the procedure, don't forget to drop the procedure before trying to create it again.
Drop Procedure if exists addPoints;
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/drop-procedure.html
Yeah, I had to use delimiters:
delimiter //
CREATE PROCEDURE addPoints(IN nomeuser varchar(256))
BEGIN
UPDATE User
SET
points = points + 1
WHERE nome = nomeuser;
END;//
delimiter ;
i am executing a procedure in mysql, procedure is-
delimiter $$
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

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.
when trying to create a simple procedure in mysql 5.1.47-community it fails everytime i've tried everything!
even simple things like this!
DELIMITER //
CREATE PROCEDURE two ()
begin
SELECT 1+1;
end;
//
The error is
ERROR: Error 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 'mydb' at line 1
The error message you've given doesn't correspond to the code you've pasted. You're referring to "mydb" somewhere in the SQL you're running yet it's not anywhere in the code you've put in the question.
The code you've given should work fine as I see no syntax errors, you may just need to give it a database to work on ("test" in my case here, perhaps it should be "mydb" for you?).
DELIMITER //
CREATE PROCEDURE test.two ()
begin
SELECT 1+1;
end;
//
DELIMITER ;
CALL test.two;
However, I suspect the error you're getting is become of a line in your SQL that you're not showing us.
EDIT
It could perhaps be the delimiter command. You're changing the delimiter to // rather than the default ;. So perhaps you've run that command (and changed the delimiter for your session to //), and then tried to run USE mydb; where the ; is no longer recognised as a valid delimiter for your session, and that could be giving you the error. Try putting delimiter ; before your use line and see if that helps (and then use it again after you've defined your stored procedure so you can call it). This is just a theory though, as I'm not sure of the intricacies of the delimiter command.
Remove the final delimiter "end" instead "end;"
I had the same problem using heidisql as the fronted to enter the SQL. My first attempt was:
CREATE PROCEDURE Add_Two (IN someNumber int, OUT result INT)
BEGIN
SELECT someNumber +2 INTO result;
END
and this resulted in SQL ERROR (1064) because i was not aware that when using a client program a delimiter is needed to define the stored procedures.
After changing the above to this:
DELIMITER //
CREATE PROCEDURE Add_Two(IN someNumber int, OUT result INT)
BEGIN
SELECT someNumber +2 INTO result;
END
//
It worked out.
Example to call it
SET #someNumber :=8;
CALL Add_Two(#someNumber, #result);
SELECT #result;
