MySQL SELECT, store in a variable
- by rlb.usa
For a stored procedure, I want to do a SELECT, and store a column's value into a variable.
How do I do this?
I want to do something like this:
DECLARE countTemp INT;
SET countTemp=(SELECT COUNT(Name) FROM mytable WHERE Name= var_name LIMIT 0,1);
OR, like this :
DECLARE countTemp INT;
SELECT countTemp=ColumnXYZ FROM mytable WHERE Name= var_name LIMIT 0,1;
But, I tried these and MySQL says my syntax is incorrect; how do I do something like this?
