MySql Stored Procedure error in WHERE condition - mysql

Question

I'm trying to write my first mySql stored procedure and keep on getting an error from the server that I am unable to understand, hope someone will be able to help me fixing it.
What I am doing
I collect some parameters from social networks, and I need to save this data in two different tables. I know that the table schema might not be optimal, but this is something I cannot change at the moment.
The idea is that I call the stored procedure from my server-side code passing in article ID and some other parameters, and the procedure:
Updates the "articles" table
Inserts anew record into the "popularity" tables with some values that are the result of the previous UPDATE
This is the stored procedure I wrote
BEGIN
UPDATE
articles2
SET
fb_shares = n_shares,
fb_comments = n_comments,
fb_reactions = n_reactions,
tw_tweets = #tweets :=(tw_tweets + n_tweets),
tw_retweets = #retweets :=(tw_retweets + n_retweets),
tw_favorites = #favorites :=(tw_favorites + n_favorites),
tw_reach = #reach :=(tw_reach + n_reach),
tw_since_id = n_since_id,
popularity = #popularity :=(
(n_shares * fb_shares_weight) +(
n_comments * fb_comments_weight
) +(
n_reactions * fb_reactions_weight
) +(#tweets * tw_tweets_weight) +(#retweets * tw_retweets_weight) +(
#favorites * tw_favorites_weight
) +(#reach * tw_reach_weight)
),
popularity_updated =(popularity_updated + 1)
WHERE
id = n_id ;
INSERT
INTO
popularity(
article_id,
added,
popularity,
tw_tweets,
tw_reach,
tw_favorites,
tw_retweets,
tw_since_id,
fb_shares,
fb_comments,
fb_reactions
)
VALUES(
n_id,
NOW(), #popularity, #tweets, #reach, #favorites, #retweets, n_since_id, n_shares, n_comments, n_reactions) ;
END
I keep getting an error #1416 - Cannot get geometry object from data you send to the GEOMETRY field and the INSERT is never performed. I suppose that the variables assignment is wrong, but cannot understand how to fix it.
As said, I never wrote a stored procedure before, and since that line looks correct to me, I really cannot understand what's wrong. I cannot exclude that I am trying to do something that should not be done with a stored procedure, but the few examples that I found online makes me think this should be correct...
Thank you in advance,
Simone
Edit:
I got rid of that error, but still the INSERT is not performed... here is the updated stored procedure:
BEGIN
SET #tweets := 0, #retweets := 0, #favorites := 0, #reach := 0, #popularity := 0;
UPDATE
articles2
SET
fb_shares = n_shares,
fb_comments = n_comments,
fb_reactions = n_reactions,
tw_tweets = #tweets :=(tw_tweets + n_tweets),
tw_retweets = #retweets :=(tw_retweets + n_retweets),
tw_favorites = #favorites :=(tw_favorites + n_favorites),
tw_reach = #reach :=(tw_reach + n_reach),
tw_since_id = n_since_id,
popularity = #popularity :=(
(n_shares * fb_shares_weight) +(
n_comments * fb_comments_weight
) +(
n_reactions * fb_reactions_weight
) +(#tweets * tw_tweets_weight) +(#retweets * tw_retweets_weight) +(
#favorites * tw_favorites_weight
) +(#reach * tw_reach_weight)
),
popularity_updated =(popularity_updated + 1)
WHERE
id = n_id ;
SELECT #tweets, #retweets, #favorites, #reach, #popularity;
INSERT
INTO
popularity(
article_id,
added,
popularity,
tw_tweets,
tw_reach,
tw_favorites,
tw_retweets,
tw_since_id,
fb_shares,
fb_comments,
fb_reactions
)
VALUES(
n_id,
NOW(), #popularity, #tweets, #reach, #favorites, #retweets, n_since_id, n_shares, n_comments, n_reactions) ;
END

Answer 1

Check the definition of the popularity table for a field defined with data type GEOMETRY and change to appropriate type.
