Question

I can’t find this answer anywhere, but can you call a Stored Procedure from another Stored Procedure in MySQL? I want to get the Identity Value back and use it in the parent Stored Procedure. We can’t use FUNCTIONS anymore!

Answer 1

CREATE PROCEDURE innerproc(OUT param1 INT)
BEGIN
 insert into sometable;
 SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID() into param1 ;
END
-----------------------------------
CREATE PROCEDURE outerproc()
BEGIN
CALL innerproc(@a);
// @a gives you the result of innerproc
SELECT @a INTO variableinouterproc FROM dual;
END

OUT parameters should help you in getting the values back to the calling procedure. Based on that the solution must be something like this.
