Pretty printing not working for stored proc in MySQL - mysql

I am trying to write an simple stored procedure to just print out information from three different tables. The problem is that for some reason \G does not work from within a stored proc. I want the output to be readable so this is pretty important
This code works but doesnt display columns in an effective way
DELIMITER //
DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS `snapshot`//
CREATE PROCEDURE snapshot(IN employeeUsername varchar(255))
BEGIN
SELECT * FROM employee where username = employeeUsername;
END //
DELIMITER ;
This code throws an exception
DELIMITER //
DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS `snapshot`//
CREATE PROCEDURE snapshot(IN employeeUsername varchar(255))
BEGIN
SELECT * FROM employee where username = employeeUsername \G;
END //
DELIMITER ;
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 3
Any help would be greatly appreciated

\G is an command in MySQL Client and subsequently can not be called from a sql stored proc

MySQL | MariaDB Creates a #1064 syntax error on import [duplicate]

I am having some trouble with creating a Stored Procedure for a MySQL database.
Here is a Select statement that works:
use canningi_db_person_cdtest;
SELECT *
FROM pet
WHERE name = 'Puffball';
Here is my Stored Procedure that does not work:
use canningi_db_person_cdtest;
CREATE PROCEDURE GetAllPets()
BEGIN
SELECT *
FROM pet
WHERE name = 'Puffball';
END
I am getting the following 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 '' at line 5
How can I get this working?
EDIT
How do I call this Stored Procedure? I have tried this with no result:
use canningi_db_person_cdtest;
CALL GetAllPets();
This is the error:
#1312 - PROCEDURE canningi_db_person_cdtest.GetAllPets can't return a result set in the given context
Add a delimiter to end your procedure. Example:
use canningi_db_person_cdtest;
DELIMITER //
CREATE PROCEDURE GetAllPets()
BEGIN
SELECT *
FROM pet
WHERE name = 'Puffball';
END//
If you need more information, please refer to http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/stored-programs-defining.html
In this particular case, since you have only one statement in your procedure, you don't need to change DELIMITER nor use BEGIN...END block.
You procedure might look like this
CREATE PROCEDURE GetAllPets()
SELECT *
FROM pet
WHERE name = 'Puffball';
And use it like this
CALL GetAllPets();

Create a simple stored procedure IN mysql

I'm trying create a simple stored procedure in mysql, In this stored procedure I'm trying to call a view and page it.
delimiter //
CREATE PROCEDURE SelectSearchResultsContract (start int, quantity int)
BEGIN
select
searchresultsdisplayview.CompanyName,
searchresultsdisplayview.LastChanceDate,
searchresultsdisplayview.PhoneNumber,
searchresultsdisplayview.ContactName,
searchresultsdisplayview.City,
searchresultsdisplayview.State
FROM searchresultsdisplayview -- this is a view
OFFSET start
LIMIT quantity ;
END
//
delimiter ;
I cannot create this because of the syntax. says I'm missing a simicolon.
I have create many that we like this using tables but the view doesnt like it. Can someone please tell me what I am missing.
EXACT ERROR:
Error Code: 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 'start LIMIT quantity' at line 15
I Figured this out by right clicking and adding stored procedure then copy and paste the sql that it displayed. below is anwser:
DELIMITER $$
USE `construction_bid_source`$$
CREATE PROCEDURE `SelectSearchResultsContract` (quantity int, start int)
BEGIN
select
searchresultsdisplayview.CompanyName,
searchresultsdisplayview.LastChanceDate,
searchresultsdisplayview.PhoneNumber,
searchresultsdisplayview.ContactName,
searchresultsdisplayview.City,
searchresultsdisplayview.State
FROM searchresultsdisplayview
LIMIT quantity-- this is a view
OFFSET start;
END$$
DELIMITER ;

How to handle one Stored Procedure output (ResultSet or Table) into another Stored Procedure as Table

one Stored Procedure is returning me a table and I want to hold that result into another Stored Procedure.
and I am facing SQL syntax error.
First Stored Procedure
DELIMITER $$
USE `dataBase`$$
DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS `testReturnTable`$$
CREATE DEFINER=`root`#`localhost` PROCEDURE `testReturnTable`()
BEGIN
SELECT `user_id`, `email` FROM `users`;
END$$
DELIMITER ;
and I am trying to call this Store Procedure into another and want to hold the data into a view or table
DELIMITER $$
USE `dataBase`$$
DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS `testReturnCall`$$
CREATE DEFINER=`root`#`localhost` PROCEDURE `testReturnCall`()
BEGIN
DROP VIEW IF EXISTS `my_view`;
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW my_view AS (CALL testReturnTable());
SELECT * FROM my_view;
END$$
DELIMITER ;
and getting 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 'CALL testReturnTable());
I can use function here as well, but I don't know how to handle result set,
please advice.
it is not possible to get table ouput from one stored procedure to another stored procedure. But we have alternate to do this which is Temp table

mySQL Trigger returns error

I am trying to set up a trigger on a table to copy the contents of a row into another table.
I have the following:
CREATE TRIGGER story_deleted BEFORE DELETE ON stories
FOR EACH ROW BEGIN
INSERT INTO stories_backup SET story_id = OLD.story_id;
END;
This returns the following error though:
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 can't work out where I'm going wrong with this. Any ideas?
Try changing the delimiter
DELIMITER $$
CREATE TRIGGER story_deleted BEFORE DELETE ON stories
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
INSERT INTO stories_backup SET story_id = OLD.story_id;
END $$
DELIMITER ;
and as far as your privileges go, run this query
SHOW GRANTS;
If SUPER is not there, you could
request your DBA to add that privilege for you
have your DBA create the trigger for you
