Question

I am using SQL Server 2005 Management Studio Express. Coins and themes are my tables. I created a stored procedures using the above two and got struck with

Error:Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Procedure themestat, Line 1
Incorrect syntax near ‘id2’.

Here is my whole procedure:

create procedure themestat(id2 In numeric, id1 In numeric)
is
   @userid nvarchar(50), @co nvarchar(50), @price nvarchar(50)
begin
   update themes set prioirty=1 where themeid=id2;
   select credits as co from coins where uid=id1;
   select rate as price from themes where priority=1;
   if(co>price)
   begin
     update themes set status=1 where priority=1;
     update themes set priority=0 where themeid=id2;
   end
   else
   begin
     update themes set priority=0 where theme=id2;
     PRINT 'no sufficient coins'
   end
end

I am curious to know where I went wrong ??

Answer 1

I’m not sure where you’ve got the syntax from, but datatypes are declared as ‘@param type’, so the first line should read:

create procedure themestat 
    @id2 numeric
    @id1 numeric

Then obviously change all references of id1 and id2 as appropriate. There’s other syntax errors in the script (missing declare, is instead of as, possibly others – I’ve not looked much closer).

This makes me wonder whether you’ve come from a different SQL dialect? I suggst reading about CREATE PROCEDURE on the MSDN (as well as other pages).
