I'm getting the following error whenever i'm trying to create the following function in mysql.
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 4
And my function is
CREATE FUNCTION GET_HOUR_MINUTES(seconds INT)
RETURNS VARCHAR(16)
BEGIN
DECLARE result VARCHAR(16);
IF seconds >= 3600 THEN SET result = TIME_FORMAT(SEC_TO_TIME(seconds),'%kh %lm');
ELSE SET result = TIME_FORMAT(SEC_TO_TIME(seconds),'%lm');
RETURN result;
END
You need to change the delimiter before creating a function. If you don't your CREATE statement terminates at the first semi-colon.
Try this:
DELIMITER $$
CREATE FUNCTION GET_HOUR_MINUTES(seconds INT)
RETURNS VARCHAR(16)
BEGIN
DECLARE result VARCHAR(16);
IF seconds >= 3600 THEN SET result = TIME_FORMAT(SEC_TO_TIME(seconds),'%kh %lm');
ELSE SET result = TIME_FORMAT(SEC_TO_TIME(seconds),'%lm');
END IF
RETURN result;
END$$
DELIMITER ;
Thanks to #Ravinder for catching the missing END IF.

I'm trying to create a function like the following:
CREATE FUNCTION TitleToFileName(title varchar(200)) RETURNS varchar(200)
BEGIN
set title = REPLACE(title,":"," ");
set title=REPLACE(title,"/"," ");
set title=REPLACE(title,"_"," ");
RETURN title;
END
MySQL shows 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 3
I tried using ' instead of " and #title instead of title , but didn't work..
You need to redefine Delimiter to something else (eg: $$), instead of (;).
Also as a safety measure, check if the same name function already exists or not (DROP FUNCTION IF EXISTS)
At the end, redefine the DELIMITER to ;
Try :
DELIMITER $$
DROP FUNCTION IF EXISTS `TitleToFileName`$$
CREATE FUNCTION TitleToFileName(title varchar(200)) RETURNS varchar(200)
BEGIN
set title = REPLACE(title,":"," ");
set title=REPLACE(title,"/"," ");
set title=REPLACE(title,"_"," ");
RETURN title;
END $$
DELIMITER ;
i'm using MySql Workbench and im unable to figure out this.
delimiter $$
CREATE function `klientu_copy`()
DECLARE v_laiks TIMESTAMP;
DECLARE v_liet VARCHAR(200);
set v_laiks = now();
set v_liet = current_user;
if (TG_OP = 'DELETE') THEN
insert into kopija_klienti values (v_liet,v_laiks,old.Vards,old.Uzvards,null,null);
ELSEif (TG_OP = 'INSERT') THEN
insert into kopija_klienti values (v_liet,v_laiks,null,null,new.Vards,new.Uzvards);
ELSEif (TG_OP='UPDATE') THEN
insert into kopija_klienti values (v_liet,v_laiks,old.Vards,old.Uzvards,new.Vards,new.Uzvards);
end if;
END; $$
delimiter ;

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.
I receive the following error when using the below function and can not figure out how to fix it.
Error:

delimiter $$
CREATE FUNCTION expirations(email VARCHAR(255))
RETURNS VARCHAR(255)
READS SQL DATA
BEGIN
DECLARE result VARCHAR(255);
SET result = NULL;
IF (LENGTH(verify_email) > 8) THEN SELECT expiration_date INTO result FROM paypal WHERE payer_email = email;
ENDIF;
RETURN IF(result IS NOT NULL, result, '0');
END$$
delimiter ;
Email would be read in as a varchar or text such as "user#domain.com"
expiration_date is a of type TIMESTAMP
payer_email is of type VARCHAR(255)
I've also tried the following function with a different error being shown.
Error:
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 ';
READS SQL DATA

DECLARE result TIMESTAMP;

Function:
delimiter $$
CREATE FUNCTION expirations(email VARCHAR(255))
RETURNS TIMESTAMP;
READS SQL DATA
BEGIN
DECLARE result TIMESTAMP;
SET result = NULL;
IF (LENGTH(verify_email) > 8) THEN SELECT expiration_date INTO result FROM paypal WHERE payer_email = email;
ENDIF;
RETURN IF(result IS NOT NULL, result, '0');
END$$
delimiter ;
I want to use either of these functions so that an application can just pass in expiration(email); and get a result if the email is of length 9 or greater or otherwise receive nothing.
UPDATE:
Thank you KAILLINGER. Spent 2 hours working on this, and it was a typo! :(
Correct answer for completeness:
delimiter $$
CREATE FUNCTION expirations(email VARCHAR(255))
RETURNS VARCHAR(200)
READS SQL DATA
BEGIN
DECLARE result VARCHAR(200);
SET result = NULL;
IF (LENGTH(email) > 8) THEN SELECT expiration_date INTO result FROM paypal WHERE payer_email = email;
END IF;
RETURN IF(result IS NOT NULL, result, '0');
END$$
delimiter ;
Your ENDIF; is not good, it should be END IF; :)
i have a problem with the next code:
create function proc1 (id int)
returns float
begin
declare sum float
select sum = (note1+note2+note3)/3 from test1.note where note.id=id;
return sum;
end
I got 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 'select sum = (note.note1+note.note2+note.note3)/3 from test1.note where note.id=' at line 5
I've spent much time searching for a solution but no solution was found :(
delimiter |
create function proc1 (id int)
returns float
begin
declare sum float;
select (note1+note2+note3)/3 into sum from test1.note where note.id=id;
return sum;
end
|
delimiter ;
You had multiple errors:
no delimiter defined. Otherwise the DB thinks your function definition stops at the first ; which is wrong
you need to use select ... into. Otherwise you get a "not allowed to return a resultset from a function" error
you forgot a semicolon after your declare
Use set instead of select or better return without declaring a variable:
delimiter //
create function proc1 (id int)
returns float
begin
return (select (note1+note2+note3)/3 from test1.note where note.id=id);
end
//
delimiter ;
or with variable:
delimiter //
create function proc1 (id int)
returns float
begin
declare sum float;
set sum = (select (note1+note2+note3)/3 from test1.note where note.id=id);
return sum;
end
//
delimiter ;
I'm trying to set up a MySQL function for my Mail-server. The MySQL Version is 5.1.66.
I do know what is wrong with this query. I also tried with RETURN DOUBLE, READS SQL DATA, and DETERMINISTIC but none of them help.
I am using PhpMyAdmin. The delimiter is set to $$. But all I get is a cryptic error message:
#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'TEXT CHARSET utf8 READS SQL DATA BEGIN DECLARE mygoto VARCHAR(25' at line 3
My code:
CREATE PROCEDURE `get_email_alias`(
myemail VARCHAR(255)
) RETURNS TEXT CHARSET utf8
READS SQL DATA
BEGIN
DECLARE mygoto VARCHAR(255);
DECLARE sdomain VARCHAR(255);
DECLARE ddomain VARCHAR(255);
SELECT SUBSTRING(myemail, INSTR(myemail, '#')+1) INTO sdomain;
SELECT target_domain
FROM alias_domain
WHERE alias_domain = sdomain
AND active = 1
LIMIT 1
INTO ddomain;
IF ddomain IS NOT NULL THEN
SELECT REPLACE(myemail, sdomain, ddomain) INTO myemail;
END IF;
SELECT goto
FROM alias
WHERE address = myemail
AND active = 1
LIMIT 1
INTO mygoto;
IF mygoto IS NOT NULL THEN
RETURN mygoto;
END IF;
RETURN null;
END $$
For anyone that comes across this later:
There was originally a syntax error in the keyword PROCEDURE. It was missing the final E.
According to the MySQL syntax, CREATE PROCEDURE does not RETURN. However, CREATE FUNCTION does allow the RETURN in the syntax. Reference: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/create-procedure.html.
PROCEDURE" on first line is missing "E"
