Answer 1

MySQL supports a local, session and global variables. You want to use session.

To set a session variable, simply:

SET @key = 'value'

All session variables are prefixed with a ‘@’.

Session variables goes out of scope when the connection is terminated.

In your case, you will still need to AND your queries, like:

SELECT * FROM pages WHERE lang = @lang

You cannot automatically do this.
