Question

Currently i am working in validate user login, so using procedure to compare username and password to signupform table, then find a recordset value is >0 (success) or <0 (failed), but i am not very well in procedure concept, i tried my level best but i can’t fix this, please help me.
Thanks in Advance

Here i have tried this:

Create table signupform (username varchar(10), password varchar(10)); 
Insert into signupform values ('sampath','s96000');
Insert into signupform values ('yuvaraj','y96297');
select * from signupform;

// CREATE PROCEDURE for compare username and password
create procedure testing (@username varchar(10), @password varchar(10))
AS
BEGIN
select * from signupform where username = @username and password = @password
End;

Answer 1

I recommend to you create function:

create function testing(@username varchar(10), @password varchar(10))
RETURNS bit
BEGIN
   if EXISTS(select * from signupform where username = @username and password = @password)
   then
      return 1;
   else
      return 0; 
   end if;
end;
