CALL sample;

and also

 CALL sample();

When i use he above query no output is shown instead page is redirected to phpMyAdmin home page .
Do i need to make any changes in phpMyAdmin???

Answer 1

Your stored procedure is most probably not being created.

You must include the DELIMITER command to tell MySQL to ignore the ; in your command:

DELIMITER //

CREATE PROCEDURE sample()
BEGIN
  SELECT * FROM members;
END//

DELIMITER ;

That tells MySQL to use a different delimiter (// in this case) and restore it (the standard ; delimiter) at the end of the query.

Then, check your procedure exists with SHOW PROCEDURE STATUS.

As far as I know, you shouldn’t need the brackets () to call a procedure that doesn’t require any arguments.

Hope that helps.
