Question

So I have this stored proc that will not get created when I run the file.

DELIMITER //

DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS msd.test_proc//
CREATE PROCEDURE msd.test_proc()
    BEGIN

        SELECT 
            'Hello proc'
        FROM 
            msd.zipcode_lookup;

    END//
DELIMITER ;

When I run this I get an error code 1064 at line 1 when I execute in RazorSQL. Here is the complete error message:

ERROR: 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 '//
CREATE PROCEDURE msd.test_proc()
BEGIN

    SELECT

        'Hello proc'
    FROM ' at line 1
Error Code:1064

I’ve tried other variations and still get errors. I am sure this is something basic I am missing. I appreciate any help.

Thanks.

As stated on the RazorSQL website:

The DELIMITER statement is not part of the MySQL language. It is a command supported by certain MySQL tools. This command tells those MySQL programs to scan for a certain character that indicates the end of a query or statement.

RazorSQL does not support using the DELIMITER command. The SQL statement delimiter value used by RazorSQL can be changed using the preferences window. The default values is the semi-colon.
