Below MySQL procedure code flags error at line 1. If I remove the arguments of below stored procedure it compiles fine.
DELIMITER $$
CREATE PROCEDURE test.USER_INPUT(#TITLE VARCHAR(20), #SEVERITY INT, #CLOSEDATE DATETIME)
BEGIN
END
DELIMITER ;
what's wrong in the above code? where is the problem exactly?
There are two problems:
You are missing a delimiter after END
Your parameter names contain in invalid character #. Either quote the column names, if you want to keep the #, or remove it.
What will work is:
DELIMITER $$
CREATE PROCEDURE test.USER_INPUT(TITLE VARCHAR(20), SEVERITY INT, CLOSEDATE DATETIME)
BEGIN
END$$
DELIMITER ;
Also make sure the database test exists.

I write a simple mysql stored procedure in workbench, however, it complains syntax error. What is wrong with my syntax?
CREATE DEFINER=`root`#`localhost` PROCEDURE `SelectIndicatorsByExistReferenceID`()
BEGIN
select * from indicators;
END
Check out this link for a simple example of a Stored Procedure.
To your question: When you define a SP, you always start with setting a new delimiter in order to use the normal delimiter (;) in your SP. If you don't do this, SQL thinks that you finished your query after the smicolon, which isn't at the end of your query so it throws an error. To set a new delimiter, do the following:
DELIMITER //
CREATE DEFINER=`root`#`localhost` PROCEDURE `SelectIndicatorsByExistReferenceID`()
BEGIN
SELECT * FROM indicators;
...
END //
DELIMITER ;
So now, you first set the delimiter to // and sql just stores the simicolons in your SP. At the END, you say that your query is done and type // - the new delimiter. Then you set it back to the normal simicolon in order to continue as always.
You'd better post your error messages, even though I can guess the problem you are suffering.
The default delimiter of MySQL is ";". So MySQL Workbench treat the statement below as a complete statement:
CREATE DEFINER=`root`#`localhost` PROCEDURE `SelectIndicatorsByExistReferenceID`()
BEGIN
select * from indicators;
It's definitely wrong!
So you should change the delimiter expilictly when you write procedures. Here is an example:
delimiter // -- change the delimiter temporarily
CREATE DEFINER=`root`#`localhost` PROCEDURE `SelectIndicatorsByExistReferenceID`()
BEGIN
select * from indicators;
END //
delimiter ; -- restore the default delimiter
DELIMITER $$
CREATE DEFINER=`root`#`locahost` PROCEDURE `SelectIndicatorsByExistReferenceID`()
BEGIN
SELECT * from indicators;
END $$
DELIMITER ;
Use this
DELIMITER $$
CREATE DEFINER=`root`#`locahost` PROCEDURE `SelectIndicatorsByExistReferenceID`()
BEGIN
SELECT * from indicators;
END $$
DELIMITER ;
I have seen some answer about this. But those cant solve my problem
DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS test_while_loop;
Delimeter //
CREATE PROCEDURE test_while_loop()
BEGIN
SELECT COUNT(*) INTO count_ FROM job_applicant;
END
//
Delimeter;
But shows unexpected near ';'
in your procedure you forget to DECLARE count_ variable. add blow line in the procedure your problem will solve
DECLARE count_ INT DEFAULT 0;
Try this.
DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS test_while_loop;
DELIMITER //
CREATE PROCEDURE test_while_loop()
BEGIN
DECLARE count_ INT DEFAULT 0;
SELECT COUNT(*) INTO count_ FROM job_applicant;
END //
DELIMITER ;
Right keyword is DELIMITER, not Delimeter
The problem lies in your last line.
Delimiter;
should be
Delimiter ;
(Note the space. Also note the spelling: it's DELIMITER, not DELIMETER.)
Once that's fixed, you also need to declare the variable count_, as Vipin Jain points out. The complete code should be
DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS test_while_loop;
DELIMITER //
CREATE PROCEDURE test_while_loop()
BEGIN
DECLARE count_ INT DEFAULT 0;
SELECT COUNT(*)
INTO count_
FROM job_applicant;
END //
DELIMITER ;
(Breaking up the SELECT as I did is strictly a matter of personal preference.)
You need to make up your mind. You've specified DELIMITER // yet you're still using ;. Of course it gives a syntax error. It's wrong. Use // (or don't change the delimiter at all). If the delimiter has been changed to // you can't use ; in the body of the procedure.
NB the final line Delimeter;
is misspelt
is missing an internal space.
I want to be able to pass arguments to stored procedure, so I searched the net and encountered something like this:
DELIMITER $$
CREATE PROCEDURE addTmpUser
#id varchar(10)
AS
BEGIN
//some sql code
END$$
DELIMITER ;
The problem is that I am getting a syntax error for the # character.
Note: I am using MySQL db.
You are mixing variable types.
#variable is a user variable with a scope for the entire connection.
The variables in stored procedures look different, they don't have the # before them.
Also, you need to declare them. Here is an example
DELIMITER $$
CREATE PROCEDURE addTmpUser(p_id varchar(10))
-- the variable is named p_id as a nameing convention.
-- It is easy for variables to be mixed up with column names otherwise.
BEGIN
DECLARE innerVariable int;
insert into user (id) values (p_id);
-- return all users
select * from user;
END$$
DELIMITER ;
-- and now call it
call addTmpUser(10);
You need to use IN,OUT,INOUT to specify the parameter. So you can try this
DELIMITER $$
CREATE PROCEDURE addTmpUser (IN id VARCHAR(10))
BEGIN
//some sql code
END$$
DELIMITER ;
Look at the documentation
I am new to mysql and I cant see why I have an error when I create my stored procedure.
DELIMITER |
CREATE PROCEDURE lastscan(IN task_id_var INT)
BEGIN
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM debugger WHERE task_id=task_id_var INTO #total|
SET #total=#total+1|
INSERT INTO debugger SET scan_num=#total, task_id=task_id_var|
END|
DELIMITER;
I get :
#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
I also dont get, why do I need to use that delimiter syntax.. ? DELIMITER | and then again DELIMITER;...what its function
DELIMITER |
CREATE PROCEDURE lastscan(IN task_id_var INT, IN file_name_var VARCHAR(110))
BEGIN
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM debugger WHERE task_id=task_id_var INTO #total;
SET #total=#total+1;
INSERT INTO debugger SET scan_num=#total, task_id=task_id_var, file_name=file_name_var;
END|
DELIMITER;
This works for me. no need to put | delimiter in sored procedure. I think it is meant to be for the stored procedure and not for what is inside the body
You can't simply assign variables like that, you need the SET keyword first.
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/set-statement.html
So you code should be something like this (tested with phpMyAdmin):
DELIMITER //
CREATE PROCEDURE lastscan(IN task_id_var INT)
BEGIN
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM debugger WHERE task_id=task_id_var INTO #total;
SET #total=#total+1;
INSERT INTO debugger SET scan_num=#total, task_id=task_id_var;
END;//
DELIMITER ;
The DELIMITER keyword is used to stop additional semicolons in your procedure to be the end of the current statement, so by redefining the delimiter to // MySql will process the whole CREATE PROCEDURE-block as one single statement and not stop at the first semicolon but instead wait for the first occurrence of //.
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/stored-programs-defining.html
I am trying to create a mysql stored procedure, but I get this error:
Script line: 2 Failed to CREATE PROCEDURE proc_test_bideep
The stored procedure code is:
DELIMITER $$
DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS `commun`.`insert_categorie` $$
CREATE PROCEDURE `commun`.`insert_categorie` (id_mere INT,
lib_categ VARCHAR(50),
id_categ_sup INT ,
categ_authInstantBuy INT)
BEGIN
SET #bg_mere := (SELECT categ_bg FROM categ_basic WHERE categ_id = id_mere);
#bg_mere+2,categ_level_bideep,categ_statut,categ_adult,categ_authSmallBid,categ_authBid,categ_authInstantBuy);
SELECT '1' AS code_retour; END IF;
ecetera.........
END $$
DELIMITER ;
a) You need to DECLARE any variables on the first lines of the procedure, including their datatype:
DECLARE bg_mere INT;
b) To fetch a value from the database into a variable, you use SELECT ... INTO syntax:
SELECT categ_bg INTO bg_mere FROM categ_basic WHERE categ_basic.categ_id = id_mere;
c) You have an END IF without the corresponding IF.
d) The closing END needs a semicolon (not BEGIN though), only then do you need a delimiter to finish the entire statement, and finally you should reset the delimiter back to normal:
BEGIN
# body of the stored procedure goes here
END;
$$
DELIMITER ;
Your parameters are missing the keyword IN such as: ...(IN id_mere INT, IN lib_categ ...). Also, you need to configure your OUT variable for #bg_mere in the initial parameter list such as (IN xxx, ..., OUT bg_mere VARCHAR/INT/WHATEVER).
