I'm trying to create a stored procedure in MySQL using Sequel Pro but I keep getting the following 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 5
Please help
Below is my code:
DELIMITER //
CREATE PROCEDURE custname()
BEGIN
SELECT fname
FROM 062016_CustomerFile
END //
DELIMITER ;
You are missing a semi-colon after the table name.
DELIMITER //
CREATE PROCEDURE custname()
BEGIN
SELECT fname
FROM 062016_CustomerFile;
END //
DELIMITER ;
Note: your table name can be quoted (enclosed with backticks) but it is not required here.
From the documentation: Schema Object Names:
Identifiers may begin with a digit but unless quoted may not consist
solely of digits.

I am attempting to recreate a stored procedure (since I can't edit the body). I called SHOW CREATE PROCEDURE to use the same format as the original stored procedure but when I attempt to recreate it I get the following errors:
ERROR 1064 (42000): 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 11
ERROR 1064 (42000): 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 'DECLARE organization_id BIGINT(20) UNSIGNED' at line 1
ERROR 1064 (42000): 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 'DECLARE lobby_pod_id BIGINT(20) UNSIGNED' at line 1
Here's the code:
CREATE DEFINER=`lms`#`10.0.0.%` PROCEDURE `create_organization`(
IN admin_username VARCHAR(255),
IN organization_name VARCHAR(100)
)
BEGIN
DECLARE admin_user_id BIGINT(20) UNSIGNED;
DECLARE organization_id BIGINT(20) UNSIGNED;
DECLARE lobby_pod_id BIGINT(20) UNSIGNED;
SELECT ID, account INTO admin_user_id, organization_id
FROM users
WHERE username = admin_username;
INSERT INTO pods (`title`, `description`, `owner`, `scene`)
VALUES (CONCAT(organization_name, " Village"),
CONCAT("General meeting space and hub for ", organization_name, " students and teachers."),
admin_user_id,
" Village"
);
END
I pasted into SQL Fiddle and got the same result, although pasting into MySQL Syntax Check gave me the thumbs-up. I'm sure it's a simple miss but it isn't that obvious to me.
You are missing the delimiter definition before and after the stored proc definition:
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. [...] The delimiter is changed to // to enable the entire
definition to be passed to the server as a single statement, and then
restored to ; before invoking the procedure. This enables the ;
delimiter used in the procedure body to be passed through to the
server rather than being interpreted by mysql itself.
Since the stored proc definition and body was ok, syntax chack gave you the thumbs up, but the code would not run properly in your client.
Use the following skeleton for defining a stored procedure:
delimiter //
create procedure ...
...
end
//
delimiter ;
I know this question has been asked a bunch in different forms, but none of the ones I looked at (quite a bit) seemed to help me out in my specific case. I wrote a few functions and procedures and I always get the same error at the same spot. Here is my code:
DELIMITER |
DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS STUDENTS_BY_STATUS;
CREATE PROCEDURE STUDENTS_BY_STATUS (sts VARCHAR(10))
BEGIN
SELECT BannerId, Name FROM STUDENT WHERE Status = sts;
END |
DELIMITER;
This happens on all my procedures functions, this 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 'CREATE PROCEDURE STUDENTS_BY_STATUS (sts VARCHAR(10))
BEGIN
SELECT BannerId,' at line 2
On my other one its this:
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 'CREATE FUNCTION GoodGrade(letGrade VARCHAR(2)) RETURNS int
BEGIN
DECLARE v' at line 2
This happens whether or not I use | or // as the DELIMITER...can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong here? Thanks!
You've changed the delimiter, written a statement and then not delimited it according to your new definition
Change the line
DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS STUDENTS_BY_STATUS;
to
DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS STUDENTS_BY_STATUS |
Update
This wasn't obvious from the initial error message, but you have another error when you reset the Delimiter after the procedure definition. You need a space before the ';' on that one.
so change
DELIMITER;
to
DELIMITER ;
NB
The other use of ';' within your procedure definition is correct, because you want everything within the create statement to to be processed together.
i wat to create this trigger to set a defaul value for a clomn but i get this message 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 4
this is my script :
CREATE TRIGGER trg_set_content_val BEFORE INSERT
ON post_table
FOR EACH ROW BEGIN
set NEW.content = 'mu value here';
END;
You need to set the delimiter to something else than semicolon before the stored program and then change it back:
DELIMITER //
CREATE TRIGGER trg_set_content_val
BEFORE INSERT
ON post_table
FOR EACH ROW BEGIN
set NEW.content = 'mu value here';
END//
DELIMITER ;
Reason:
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. The
following example shows how to do this for the dorepeat() procedure
just shown. The delimiter is changed to // to enable the entire
definition to be passed to the server as a single statement, and then
restored to ; before invoking the procedure. This enables the ;
delimiter used in the procedure body to be passed through to the
server rather than being interpreted by mysql itself.
This isn't something I usually have problems with but I don't understand that one now. I tried with backticks, with double quotes, without backticks,...

CREATE PROCEDURE mapping(
p_object INT(10),
brand VARCHAR(255),
model VARCHAR(255))
BEGIN
INSERT INTO `object_brand_model_mapping`
SET `object`=p_object, `brandNameNormalized`=brand, `modelNameNormalized`=model;
END;
I also tried
INSERT INTO `object_brand_model_mapping`
(`object`, `brandNameNormalized`, `modelNameNormalized`)
VALUES
(p_object, brand, model);
which produces exactly the same error.
I don't know what's wrong with this. Do any special rules apply to INSERT in a procedure?
All of the columns do exist.
The parser is getting confused by having a common delimiter between defining the procedure and the procedure contents. To remedy this, define a different delimiter before creating the procedure:
DELIMITER $$
CREATE PROCEDURE mapping(
p_object INT(10),
brand VARCHAR(255),
model VARCHAR(255))
BEGIN
INSERT INTO `object_brand_model_mapping` (`object`, `brandNameNormalized`, `modelNameNormalized`)
VALUES (p_object, brand, model);
END$$
DELIMITER ;
From Alex Silverstein's article on the subject:
The next step is to change the default MySQL script parser’s delimiter from semicolon (;) to double-dollar sign ($$). The reason you do this is so that the semicolons after each statement in the body of the routine are not interpreted by the parser as meaning the end of the CREATE PROCEDURE statement. This is because the entire CREATE PROCEDURE block, from CREATE PROCEDURE to END is actually a single statement that must be executed by itself. Were it not for the delimiter change, the script would break, since there each statement inside BEGIN and END would execute individually. Note that you can use a variety of non-reserved characters to make your own custom delimiter.
I have a problem with this, and I keep getting this error
MySQL said: Documentation
1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 5.
Do you have any ideas for why I keep getting this error?
DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS `prn_insert`;
CREATE PROCEDURE `prn_insert`(id int, name text, description text)
BEGIN
insert into test
select id,name,description;
END
The semicolon is ending the CREATE PROCEDURE statement. To get the entire statement, use a delimiter other than a semicolon. We frequently use $$ (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.
