Question

I am trying to create stored procedure in mysql admin. I am hosting a website in POWWEB.com. For this purpose i am trying to create stored procedure in mysqladmin.

The Mysql version is 5.0.45. I am able to create a stored procedure with only 1 line of code.

CREATE PROCEDURE TEST(input INT)
    INSERT INTO TEST(COL1) VALUES(input);

But this is of no use. I want to write a stored procedure with more commands. So i try doing like

CREATE PROCEDURE TEST(input INT)
BEGIN
    INSERT INTO TEST(COL1) VALUES(input);
    INSERT INTO TEST1(COL1) VALUES(input);
    INSERT INTO TEST2(COL1) VALUES(input);
END

But this gives a syntax error. But the same code works fine in my local machine.
Please let me know if you have any idea of how to solve this. Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

The default delimiter is ;, so it interprets the code as multiple queries, which obviously doesn’t work. Try something like this:

delimiter //
CREATE PROCEDURE TEST(input INT)
BEGIN
    INSERT INTO TEST(COL1) VALUES(input);
    INSERT INTO TEST1(COL1) VALUES(input);
    INSERT INTO TEST2(COL1) VALUES(input);
END//
