Question

im stuck on calling stored procedures inside a SELECT CASE on a Trigger, it gaves me the following error:

[Err] 1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your   MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'empata(NEW.eqvis))
            WHEN 'loc' THEN pierde(NEW.eqvis)
            WHEN 'vis' THEN g' at line 16

Here is the code:

DELIMITER |
CREATE TRIGGER updpartido AFTER UPDATE ON partidos
FOR EACH ROW
    BEGIN
        SET @vgls = vgoles(NEW.eqvis);
        SET @lgls = vgoles(NEW.eqloc);
        SET @vglsec = vgolesec(NEW.eqvis);
        SET @lglsec = vgolesec(NEW.eqloc);
        SELECT CASE 
            WHEN @vgls=@lgls THEN "emp"
            WHEN @vgls>@lgls THEN "loc"
            WHEN @vgls<@lgls THEN "vis" 
        END
        INTO @st;

        SELECT CASE @st
            WHEN 'emp' THEN CALL empata(NEW.eqvis)
            WHEN 'loc' THEN CALL pierde(NEW.eqvis)
            WHEN 'vis' THEN CALL gana(NEW.eqvis)
        END
        INTO @dat;

        SELECT CASE @st
            WHEN 'emp' THEN CALL empata(NEW.eqloc)
            WHEN 'vis' THEN CALL pierde(NEW.eqloc)
            WHEN 'loc' THEN CALL gana(NEW.eqloc)
        END
        INTO @dat2;

        UPDATE equipos SET gf=@vgls,gc=@vglsec WHERE id=NEW.eqvis;
        UPDATE equipos SET gf=@lgls,gc=@lglsec WHERE id=NEW.eqloc;
    END;

But if i remove the “CALL” the Triggers adds but when i do some update it gives me the error of “FUNCTION not found” since i made them as stored procedures and not as functions because im not going to return nothing…

Any help is very appreciated!

You can convert your procedures empata, pierde, and gana into functions and use as coded in the first example below:

-- works
SET @st = 'loc';
SELECT CASE @st
  WHEN 'loc' THEN function_(@st)
END
INTO @dat;
SELECT @dat;

I tested the following scenarios and they didn’t work:

-- won't work
SET @st = 'loc';
IF @st = 'loc' THEN
    function_(@st);
END IF;

-- won't work
SET @st = 'loc';
SELECT CASE @st
  WHEN 'loc' THEN CALL stored_procedure_(@st)
END
INTO @dat;
SELECT @dat;

-- won't work
SET @st = 'loc';
IF @st = 'loc' THEN
    CALL stored_procedure_(@st);
END IF;

At the very least, they didn’t work for me.
