Question

I am trying to call a user defined stored procedure from a select statement and its giving me an error. However when I call a system procedure it works just fine. Is there a way to call a user defined procedure from a select statement. This is for mysql

SELECT ID, email FROM user PROCEDURE simpleproc();

give me an error ERROR 1106 (42000): Unknown procedure ‘simpleproc’

mysql> call simpleproc();

Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.21 sec)

where as

SELECT ID, email FROM user PROCEDURE ANALYSE();

works

Answer 1

You can call stored procedure from select statement,To call a procedure you must use following syntax:

CALL stored_procedure_name (param1, param2, ....)  

Such as, you can CALL following procedure:

DELIMITER //

CREATE PROCEDURE `procedure1`(IN var1 INT)
BEGIN
    SELECT var1 + 2 AS result;
END//

as

CALL procedure1(10);
