I am trying to run a query which I first typed out like this:
DELIMITER $$
DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS development $$
CREATE PROCEDURE development()
BEGIN
DECLARE i INT DEFAULT 1;
WHILE i <= 500 DO
IF NOT EXISTS ((SELECT * FROM customers WHERE customerID = 500)) THEN INSERT INTO customers (firstName) VALUES (''); END IF;
SET i = i + 1;
END WHILE;
END $$
CALL development() $$
DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS development $$
DELIMITER ;
but then "compressed" into this:
DELIMITER $$ DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS development $$ CREATE PROCEDURE development() BEGIN DECLARE i INT DEFAULT 1; WHILE i <= 500 DO IF NOT EXISTS ((SELECT * FROM customers WHERE customerID = 500)) THEN INSERT INTO customers (firstName) VALUES (''); END IF; SET i = i + 1; END WHILE; END $$ CALL development() $$ DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS development $$ DELIMITER ;
on one line. The problem is that the first (multiline) code works, and does what it's supposed to do, while the other (single line) version, doesn't. It doesn't fail or throw errors, it just doesn't insert the rows like the multiline version. Why is this? More importantly, how can I make the single line version work?
Thanks in advance!
please try it this way:
DELIMITER $$
DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS development $$ CREATE PROCEDURE development() BEGIN DECLARE i INT DEFAULT 1; WHILE i <= 500 DO IF NOT EXISTS ((SELECT * FROM customers WHERE customerID = 500)) THEN INSERT INTO customers (firstName) VALUES (''); END IF; SET i = i + 1; END WHILE; END $$ CALL development() $$ DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS development $$
DELIMITER ;
The last line break might not be neccessary.
But I am fairly confident that, when inlining the whole code you end up setting a delimiter much longe than "$$"
I just executed the completely inlined example on a random sql server of mine and always received a positive result, even though I have not set up the related db structure.
with line breaks there are complaints about missing tables (as would be expected)

You cannot run any SQL on the same line as delimiter. delimiter is a built in mysql client command that sets the statement seperator, not an sql interpreter. It takes one argument, read up to the first space or newline. Everything else is ignored.
delimiter $$ select now() $$
No output, because everything after $$ is thrown away.
Or illustrated by bad syntax
delimiter "$$" select; nothing order by from nowhere group , oh forget it $$

I'm trying to create a stored procedure for deleting a record in my table.
I have tried the following but it doesn't seem to work:
Delimiter //
CREATE PROCEDURE BIRD_STRIKE_INCIDENT_DELETE #row text
AS
BEGIN
DELETE FORM bird_strike.incidents WHERE row_names = #row
END
delimiter ;
Call BIRD_STRIKE_INCIDENT_DELETE('11')
Can someone provide pointers on what I might be doing wrong here?
Thanks!
Your code looks more like SQL Server than MySql
This should be so
Delimiter //
CREATE PROCEDURE BIRD_STRIKE_INCIDENT_DELETE (_row text)
BEGIN
DELETE FROM bird_strike.incidents WHERE row_names = _row;
END//
delimiter ;
You can consider this approach.
IF EXISTS(SELECT 1 FROM sys.procedures
WHERE Name = 'BIRD_STRIKE_INCIDENT_DELETE')
BEGIN
DROP PROCEDURE dbo.BIRD_STRIKE_INCIDENT_DELETE;
END;
else
BEGIN
CREATE PROCEDURE BIRD_STRIKE_INCIDENT_DELETE (_row text)
BEGIN
DELETE FROM bird_strike.incidents WHERE row_names = _row;
END
END;
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 the code bellow:
DROP TRIGGER IF EXISTS before_insert_test;
DELIMITER $$
CREATE TRIGGER DB1.before_insert_test
BEFORE INSERT ON DB1.t1 FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
-- condition to check
IF (select length(NEW.m_phone) > 10) THEN
set new.m_phone = '1111111111';
END IF;
END$$
in the IF statement the comarison works with an "=" but not with either "<>", "!=" or ">".
Has anyone seen this before and can point me in the right direction?
I am getting an error in MySQL that is driving me crazy and I just can't figure out what's wrong. I makes the following call:
CALL ProfileUpdateProgress(107)
MySQL returns the error: "Incorrect number of arguments for FUNCTION ccms.fnGetProfileAlbumsPhotoCount; expected 2, got 1"
Now, as you can see in the code below, the call being made to that function is: fnGetProfileAlbumsPhotoCount(_profileId, profileUserId)
That's two arguments isn't it?? Why is it erroring??
I'm going mad!!
Database procs:
DELIMITER $$
DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS `ProfileUpdateProgress` $$
CREATE DEFINER=`root`#`%` PROCEDURE `ProfileUpdateProgress`(
IN _profileId integer
)
BEGIN
SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL READ UNCOMMITTED;
CALL ProfileUpdateProfileProgress(_profileId);
END $$
DELIMITER ;
which in turn calls:
DELIMITER $$
DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS `ProfileUpdateProfileProgress` $$
CREATE DEFINER=`root`#`%` PROCEDURE `ProfileUpdateProfileProgress`(IN _profileId int)
BEGIN
-- Declarations here
SELECT profileEyes, profileSex, profileHair, profileBustBand, profileBustCup, profileBirthCountry, profileProfession , profileAbout,
profileBiography, fnGetProfilePhoto(_profileId, null) AS profilePhoto, fnGetProfileAlbumsPhotoCount(_profileId, profileUserId) AS albumPhotoCount,
userAllowMultipleProfiles, profileIsPrimary, fnUserGetChildrenProfileCount(userId) AS ownerProfileCount
INTO _profileEyes, _profileSex, _profileHair, _profileBustBand, _profileBustCup, _profileBirthCountry, _profileProfession,
_profileAbout, _profileBiography, _profilePhoto, _albumPhotoCount, _userAllowMultipleProfiles, _profileIsPrimary,
_ownerProfileCount
FROM profile
INNER JOIN user
ON profileUserId = userId
WHERE profileId = _profileId;
-- Other irrelevant code here
END $$
DELIMITER ;
and the function being called that errors looks like:
DELIMITER $$
DROP FUNCTION IF EXISTS `fnGetProfileAlbumsPhotoCount` $$
CREATE DEFINER=`root`#`%` FUNCTION `fnGetProfileAlbumsPhotoCount`(
_profileId int,
_userId int
) RETURNS int(11)
BEGIN
DECLARE outProfileAlbumsPhotoCount int DEFAULT 0;
-- Irrelvant Code
RETURN outProfileAlbumsPhotoCount;
END $$
DELIMITER ;
Ah finally solved it. Another function called fnUserGetChildrenProfileCount in the select columns was the culprit as it too had a call to the fnGetProfileAlbumsPhotoCount() function and THAT call only had one argument, i.e. missing the second one.
I am trying to create a mysql stored procedure, but I get this error:
Script line: 2 Failed to CREATE PROCEDURE proc_test_bideep
The stored procedure code is:
DELIMITER $$
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).
