Error while creating a procedure mysql CRUD - mysql

Question

I keep getting a syntax error at line 9
CREATE PROCEDURE `ItemsAddOrEdit`(
_itm_id INT,
_itm_name VARCHAR(255),
_itm_price FLOAT(8,2)
)
BEGIN
IF _itm_id = 0 THEN
INSERT INTO items (itm_name, itm_price)
VALUES (_itm_name, _itm_price);
ELSE
UPDATE items
SET
itm_name = _itm_name,
itm_price = _itm_price
WHERE itm_id = _itm_id;
END IF;
END
Are the variables the problem? I've checked the table to see if I messed the names up, but it all seems fine to me.
Here's the table code
CREATE TABLE `items` (
`itm_id` INT(255) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`itm_name` VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
`itm_price` FLOAT(8,2) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`itm_id`),
UNIQUE INDEX `itm_name` (`itm_name`)
)

Answer 1

You need to redefine Delimiter to something else, for eg: $$. This allows parser to ignore ; (hence do not execute statement on reaching ;).
Also, as a good practice, always use DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS, to avoid failing out in case procedure with same name already exists.
At the end, redefine the Delimiter back to ;
Try the following:
DELIMITER $$
DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS `ItemsAddOrEdit` $$
CREATE PROCEDURE `ItemsAddOrEdit`(
_itm_id INT,
_itm_name VARCHAR(255),
_itm_price FLOAT(8,2)
)
BEGIN
IF _itm_id = 0 THEN
INSERT INTO items (itm_name, itm_price)
VALUES (_itm_name, _itm_price);
ELSE
UPDATE items
SET
itm_name = _itm_name,
itm_price = _itm_price
WHERE itm_id = _itm_id;
END IF;
END $$
DELIMITER ;
