Using PHPMYADMIN

To create a stored procedure, you can use the following :

 DELIMITER //
    create procedure sampleproc()
    begin
    declare x int;
    set x=1;
    while x<=1000 do
    insert into dictionary (word,mean) values('a','a mean');
    set x=x+1;
    end while
    end//

And make sure you set the “Delimiter” field on the SQL tab to //.

Using Command Line

mysql --user=user_name --password=your_password db_name < sample.sql
