RE: Need help with Stored Procedures iin MySQL 5.0.3-beta

[Anchan, Dinesh]

Yes it is the delimiter which was giving the errors.  I had tried
putting those statements inside the script, which didn't work.  But when
i set it from the command line before executing the script to create the
procedure it worked.  I am still not clear on how to use delimiter
without much pain but i will get there.
 
Thanks for your help.
 
Dinesh

Dinesh,

Do you have something like
  DELIMITER |
before the CREATE PROCEDURE call, and
  |
  DELIMITER ;
after it?

        Hi,
         
        I am looking to migrate an Informix database to MySQL and trying
to
        write a simple stored procedure in MySQL 5.0.3.   I referred to
few
        examples posted and used the statements from them but i get
errors while
        creating this procedure.

        (
           IN user_id    integer,
           IN seg_id     integer
        )
         
        BEGIN
         
           declare p_rows int;
           set p_rows = 0;
         
           select count(*)
             into p_rows
             from test
            where user_id = user_id
              and seg_id  = seg_id;
         
           if p_rows = 1 then
              update test
                 set visits = visits+1
               where user_id = user_id
                 and seg_id  = seg_id;
           else
              INSERT INTO test
              VALUES (user_id,seg_id, 1);
           end if;
         
        END
