Question

Can the MySQL Query Browser set parameters of a parameterized query? If so, how? I tried populating the Parameter Browser tab but it doesn’t seem to actually set parameters when I execute the query.

I searched for quite a while in Google (e.g. mySQL Query Browser parameterized) but had no luck finding the answer.

I found this thread on the mySQL forums– sounds like I’m not the only one scratching my head here.

I’m using Version 5.1 on Windows Server 2008 (client and server), if that matters.

Answer 1

To use parameters in Query Browser, the query has to be written like this:

select * from table where id=:id

If a parameter with the name ‘id’ exists in the parameter browser, the query will run.
