Cannot create Function MySQL syntax errors - mysql

I cannot seem to get this working properly, its always a different error I am getting. Any suggestions are appreciated at this point...
CREATE DEFINER=`db`#`localhost` FUNCTION `output_date`(in_date DATE) RETURNS DATE
READS SQL DATA
BEGIN
DECLARE date_format_index INT;
DECLARE date_format_string VARCHAR;
SELECT s.output_date_format INTO date_format_index FROM config s
SET date_format_string = ( CASE date_format_index WHEN 2 THEN '%d-%m-%Y' WHEN 3 THEN '%m-%d-%Y' ELSE '%Y-%m-%d' END );
RETURN in_date
END
I am using DELIMITER $$ when attempting to process this function.
The current error is ...
Error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '; SELECT s.output_date_format INTO date_format_index FROM system_config s SET d'
My environment is MyEclipse, newest version.
The MySQL version I have is 5.2.

You are missing some semi-colons and a problem with varchar, try this:
DELIMITER $$
CREATE DEFINER=`db`#`localhost` FUNCTION `output_date`(in_date DATE) RETURNS DATE
READS SQL DATA
BEGIN
DECLARE date_format_index INT;
DECLARE date_format_string VARCHAR(100); -- obviously change the size
SELECT s.output_date_format INTO date_format_index FROM config s;
SET date_format_string = ( CASE date_format_index WHEN 2 THEN '%d-%m-%Y' WHEN 3 THEN '%m-%d-%Y' ELSE '%Y-%m-%d' END );
RETURN in_date;
END
$$
DELIMITER ;
It runs on my box.

Use cursor within stored procedure [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
syntax error for mysql declaration of variable
(2 answers)
Closed 4 years ago.
I'm trying to make a stored procedure that include a cursor inside it and fill one of my tables based on another table's data , every day .
I think I'm doing something wrong with syntax , I already wrote a simple Stored procedure with cursor and it worked totally right , but when it get a little more complicated it does not work any more .
I'm getting
Error Code: 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 'DECLARE brandId int ;' at line 1.
Please note that I'm using Mysql 5.7 and I'm creating this at phpmMyAdmin .
CREATE PROCEDURE ّFillCommentGrowth()
BEGIN
DECLARE brandId int;
DECLARE todayComment int ;
DECLARE brandCount int ;
DECLARE yesterdayComment int;
DECLARE crs CURSOR for SELECT id from brands;
SET brandCount = (SELECT count(*) from brands);
open crs;
WHILE brandCount > 0 DO
FETCH crs into brandId ;
set todayComment = (select IFNULL((select count(*) from comments as c where date(c.created_at) = date(subdate(NOW(),1)) and c.brand_id = brandId ),0));
set yesterdayComment = (select IFNULL((select commentAmount from commentsGrowth where moment = date(subdate(NOW(),2)) and brand_Ref= brandId),0));
INSERT INTO commentsGrowth
(
brand_Ref,
commentAmount,
diffrenceByYesterday,
degree,
AmountPercent,
moment)
VALUES
(brandId ,
todayComment,
(todayComment - yesterdayComment ) ,
(((ATAN(todayComment - yesterdayComment )*180))/PI()),
(degree*(1.1)),
date(subdate(NOW(),1)));
SET brandCount = brandCount - 1;
END WHILE;
close crs;
END
The error you are getting has nothing to do with cursor. You need to change the DELIMITER from standard semicolon (;). For example
DELIMITER //
CREATE PROCEDURE GetAllProducts()
BEGIN
SELECT * FROM products;
END //
DELIMITER ;
The DELIMITER statement changes the standard delimiter which is semicolon ( ; ) to another. In this case, the delimiter is changed from the semicolon( ; ) to double-slashes //. Why do we have to change the delimiter? Because we want to pass the stored procedure to the server as a whole rather than letting mysql tool interpret each statement at a time. Following the END keyword, we use the delimiter // to indicate the end of the stored procedure. The last command ( DELIMITER; ) changes the delimiter back to the semicolon (;).

Mysterious error in CREATE PROCEDURE in MariaDB/MySQL

I tried to make a simple procedure in MariaDB 10.2 but I encountered an issue regarding variables defining.
I am receiving (conn:107) 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 3 message when I declare a variable.
I read the MariaDB documentation and I it says that a variable is defined like this DECLARE var_name [, var_name] ... type [DEFAULT value]
Where I am wrong? I am coming from Oracle SQL and some sintax is wired for me.
I use Eclipse with MariaDB JDBC to connect on SQL.
CREATE PROCEDURE nom_jobs_insert(IN p_name varchar(100) CHARACTER SET 'utf8')
BEGIN
DECLARE counter INT DEFAULT 0;
SELECT count(*) INTO counter
FROM nom_jobs
WHERE lower(name) = lower(p_name)
IF counter = 1 THEN
INSERT INTO nom_jobs(name) VALUES (p_name);
END IF;
END;
I found the solution.
In MariaDB you have to define a delimiter before create a procedure and you need to mark where the procedure code is finished.
DELIMITER //
CREATE PROCEDURE nom_jobs_insert(IN p_name varchar(100) CHARACTER SET 'utf8')
BEGIN
DECLARE counter INT DEFAULT 0;
SELECT count(*) INTO counter
FROM nom_jobs
WHERE lower(name) = lower(p_name);
IF counter = 1 THEN
INSERT INTO nom_jobs(name) VALUES (p_name);
END IF;
END; //
You have error not in DECLARE expression, add ; after SELECT statement
Here are the clues that point to a missing DELIMITER:
near '' at line 3
Line 3 contains the first ;
When the error says near '', the parser thinks it has run off the end of the "statement".
Put those together -- it thinks that there is one 3-line statement ending with ;. But the CREATE PROCEDURE should be longer than that.
CREATE PROCEDURE nom_jobs_insert(IN p_name varchar(100) CHARACTER SET 'utf8')
IS
DECLARE counter INTEGER DEFAULT 0;
BEGIN
SELECT count(*) INTO counter
FROM nom_jobs
WHERE lower(name) = lower(p_name)
IF counter = 1 THEN
INSERT INTO nom_jobs(name) VALUES (p_name);
END IF;
END;

Mysql function - cant figure it out

i'm using MySql Workbench and im unable to figure out this.

Did try set #variable / declare #variable, cant figure this out. I'm still learning :)
You must specify the length of the varchar variable, like varchar(100)
Also add the closing ( for the first insert.

Error when using case with variables

Hey guys i am facing a problem when i use a variable with a case in mysql.
The code which i have used is
DECLARE vSite VARCHAR(20);
SET vSite = case
when id > 0 then 'sdfsdf'
else 'asd' end as name
from customers;
When i run this code it throws me error like
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 vSite VARCHAR(20)' at line 1: DECLARE vSite VARCHAR(20)
CAN anyone point me where am going wrong..Thanks for your valuable help
You need to declare variables inside a BEGIN END block.
Here is a simple example of a stored procedure
DELIMITER //
CREATE procedure blah(IN customer_id INT,OUT vSite VARCHAR(20))
BEGIN
SELECT CASE WHEN id > 0 THEN 'blah'
ELSE 'mah' END INTO vSite FROM customers WHERE id=customer_id;
END//
DELIMITER ;
CALL blah(3,#somevar);
SELECT #somevar;

Error with MySQL, DECLARE

I am using MySQL v5.0.92 and I'm trying to import some data, but I get an error on declare my variables.
BEGIN
DECLARE flag INT;
DECLARE id INT;
while flag=0 begin
SET id=(SELECT top 1 user_id
FROM ac_user_info WHERE user_id>#id order by user_id)
INSERT INTO cuddleew_database1.cewp_usermeta(user_id,meta_key,meta_value)
SELECT id,'first_name',first_name
FROM cuddleew_backup.ac_user_info WHERE user_id=#id
INSERT INTO cuddleew_database1.cewp_usermeta(user_id,meta_key,meta_value)
SELECT id,'last_name',last_name
FROM cuddleew_backup.ac_user_info WHERE user_id=#id
SET flag=(select case #id when(SELECT MAX(user_id)
FROM cuddleew_bakup.ac_user_info) then 1
else 0
END CASE)
END WHILE
END
In MySQL console i get this:
BEGIN DECLARE flag INT;
#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 'DECLARE flag INT' at line 2.
Can you help me with this and tell me what's wrong. Thanks in advance.
You have to change your delimiter first, so the ; doesn't tell MySQL that this command is over.
DELIMITER $$
[your code here]
END $$
DELIMITER ;
