I have a hard time locating an error when trying to create a stored procedure in mysql.
If I run every single line of the procedure independently, everything works just fine.
CREATE PROCEDURE cms_proc_add_child
(
param_parent_id INT, param_name CHAR(255),
param_content_type CHAR(255)
)
BEGIN
SELECT #child_left := rgt FROM cms_tree WHERE id = param_parent_id;
UPDATE cms_tree SET rgt = rgt+2 WHERE rgt >= #child_left;
UPDATE cms_tree SET lft = lft+2 WHERE lft >= #child_left;
INSERT INTO cms_tree (name, lft, rgt, content_type) VALUES
(
param_name,
#child_left,
#child_left+1,
param_content_type
);
END
I get the following (helpful) 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 '' at line 3
I just don't know where to start debugging, as every single one of these lines is correct.
Do you have any tips?
As line 3 contains the first ; perhaps you have a problem with your delimiters.
See http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/en/stored-programs-defining.html
DELIMITER //
CREATE PROCEDURE dorepeat(p1 INT)
BEGIN
SET #x = 0;
REPEAT SET #x = #x + 1; UNTIL #x > p1 END REPEAT;
END//
DELIMITER ;
Thanks, near '' at line 3 was my problem and the delimiter statement fixed it! I always want things to make sense and this does. As the '' indicates it's at the end of the procedure, but no END statement was found thus the syntax error. And I wondered why I kept seeing a lot of people using the delimiter statement. I see the light!
You never declare your #child_left variable.
If you having issues with a bunch of Procedure that can't run at the same time but can run successfully alone, Try separate them with Go command.
Ex:
--i)
CREATE PROCEDURE A
AS
BEGIN
END;
GO
--ii)
CREATE PROCEDURE B
AS
BEGIN
END;

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 (;).
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;
I am trying to create a trigger that marks items as deleted when they are inserted into the database.
Sadly I can't get my DECLARE to stop erroring, I have looked at the DECLARE docs and also at a few examples but I must be missing something.
The query I have so far is:
CREATE TRIGGER set_deleted BEFORE INSERT ON customercontact
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
DECLARE numrow INT; /* line 4 */
SELECT COUNT(*)
INTO numrow
FROM orders
WHERE NEW.order_id = 1;
if numrow >= 1 THEN
SET new.deleted = 1;
END IF;
END
The error message is showing:
#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 4
Thanks for your help and preventing me from defenestrating myself!
Try this:
DELIMITER $$
CREATE TRIGGER set_deleted BEFORE INSERT ON customercontact
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
DECLARE numrow INT; /* line 4 */
SELECT COUNT(*)
INTO numrow
FROM orders
WHERE NEW.order_id = 1;
if numrow >= 1 THEN
SET new.deleted = 1;
END IF;
END$$
DELIMITER ;
You need to change the delimiter when you create TRIGGER or STORED PROCEDURE.
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. Otherwise, MySQL breaks CREATE TRIGGER, before it reaches the END statement (on the first semicolon, which, in your case, is DECLARE statement).
You can see the documentation for more details:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/stored-programs-defining.html
I have about 2 years of mySQL under my belt but am diving into stored procedures for the first time to create an internal analytic tool for my site. I am usually good at tracking down SQL errors but this one is eluding me.
The error I get is 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 '' at line 3
This is the code I execute to receive this error:
CREATE PROCEDURE STORE_ANALYTICS (IN chain VARCHAR(300))
BEGIN
UPDATE _analytics_clicks
SET chainCount = (chainCount + 1)
WHERE visitChain = chain;
IF SELECT ROW_COUNT() = 0 THEN
INSERT INTO _analytics_clicks (visitChain, chainCount)
VALUES (chain, 1);
END IF;
END|
It is worth noting that before I execute this, I executed
DELIMITER |
The structure of the table I am trying to alter is this:
chainID int(11) auto_increment
visitChain varchar(300)
chainCount int(11)
When I execute line 3 by itself, replacing visitChain=chain with visitChain='0' (0 is a test chain i enetered), the command runs fine and chainCount is incremented.
Any ideas on why I am getting this error/the stored procedure is not being created?
Thanks,
Matt
EDIT :
Included delimiter in SQL command:
DELIMITER |
CREATE PROCEDURE STORE_ANALYTICS (IN chain VARCHAR(300))
BEGIN
UPDATE _analytics_clicks SET chainCount = (chainCount+1) WHERE visitChain=chain;
IF ROW_COUNT() = 0 THEN
INSERT INTO _analytics_clicks (visitChain, chainCount) VALUES (chain, 1);
END IF;
END|
DELIMITER ;
Gave me this error:
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 300 seconds exceeded in C:\wamp\apps\phpmyadmin3.2.0.1\libraries\import\sql.php on line 119
You can do
IF ROW_COUNT() = 0 THEN
rather than IF SELECT ROW_COUNT() = 0 THEN. No need for the SELECT.
I suspect that your delimiter is not being set properly.
I usually include the delimiter set/unset statements with my SQL source, that way "it just runs" - it's good practice that every SQL file can run stand-alone eg:
delimiter ~
create procedure ...
end;~
delimiter ;
Try changing your delimiter to something less deadly than a pipe char - try my tilda ~ char, which never gives me any trouble. I've seen $$ used often as well.
I have a simple stored procedure which inserts records into four character fields in table. Below is the procedure
CREATE PROCEDURE dowhile()
BEGIN
DECLARE I INT DEFAULT 5
v1loop: WHILE I < 10000 DO
INSERT INTO TestTable1(A,B,C,D)
SELECT CONCAT(I,'A'), CONCAT(I,'B'), CONCAT(I,'C'), CONCAT(I,'D')
SET I = I + 1
END WHILE v1loop
END;
Checked online - there are no free MSSQL to MYSQL SQL Conversion Tools
Error is
- SQL Syntax Error in Insert - SELECT Statement
I have checked the syntax this seem to be correct.
Any pointers for this would be helpful.
Not to bad actually, you just need to add some semi-colons and change MySQL's default delimiter. This needs to be done since we're using SQL inside SQL.
DELIMITER $$
CREATE PROCEDURE dowhile()
BEGIN
DECLARE I INT DEFAULT 5;
v1loop: WHILE I < 10000 DO
INSERT INTO TestTable1(A,B,C,D)
SELECT CONCAT(I,'A'), CONCAT(I,'B'), CONCAT(I,'C'), CONCAT(I,'D');
SET I = I + 1;
END WHILE v1loop;
END$$
DELIMITER ;
Just tested this on my MySQL server.
