mysql insert stored procedure throwing an error - mysql

Question

I am trying to write a stored procedure in mysql using Heidisql. I keep getting the error. Below is the screen shot:
below is the script of the stored procedure.
CREATE PROCEDURE index_insertPersonadata
(
IN p_firstName VARCHAR(50),
IN p_middleName VARCHAR(50),
IN p_lastName VARCHAR(50),
IN p_address VARCHAR(200),
IN p_City VARCHAR(50),
IN p_State VARCHAR(50),
IN p_ZIP VARCHAR(50)
)
BEGIN
INSERT INTO personalrecord(
FirstName,
MiddleName,
LastName,
Address,
City,
state,
ZIP
)
VALUES
(
p_firstName,
p_middleName,
p_lastName,
p_address,
p_City,
p_State,
p_ZIP
);
END;
any help will be highly appreciated.

Answer 1

As far as your question is concerned, you are just missing a delimiter command:
DELIMITER //
CREATE PROCEDURE index_insertPersonadata (
IN p_firstName VARCHAR(50),
IN p_middleName VARCHAR(50),
IN p_lastName VARCHAR(50),
IN p_address VARCHAR(200),
IN p_City VARCHAR(50),
IN p_State VARCHAR(50),
IN p_ZIP VARCHAR(50)
)
BEGIN
INSERT INTO personalrecord(FirstName, MiddleName, LastName, Address, City, state, ZIP)
VALUES(p_firstName, p_middleName, p_lastName, p_address, p_City, p_State, p_ZIP);
END;
//
DELIMITER ;
Why you need this is explained in the documentation:
If you use the mysql client program to define a stored program containing semicolon characters, a problem arises. By default, mysql itself recognizes the semicolon as a statement delimiter, so you must redefine the delimiter temporarily to cause mysql to pass the entire stored program definition to the server.
To redefine the mysql delimiter, use the delimiter command.
