Hi,
Still having difficulty with stored functions. I downloaded and installed
MySQL 5.0.7 and
I *still* cannot get stored functions to work.
I used the example for hello from section 19.2.1 of the online documentation
for MySQL and the example code doesnt work for me either.
Below are the versions from, respectively, the MySQL cli, the MySQL server
and my Linux and following that is a transcript from the mysql cli trying to
create the hello function.
mysql Ver 14.11 Distrib 5.0.7-beta, for pc-linux-gnu (i686) using readline
4.3
mysqld Ver 5.0.7-beta-standard for pc-linux-gnu on i686 (MySQL Community
Edition - Standard (GPL)
Linux colinux 2.6.10-co-0.6.2 #5 Sat Feb 5 10:19:16 IST 2005 i686 i686 i386
GNU/Linux
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 30 to server version: 5.0.7-beta-standard
Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.
mysql> DELIMITER //
mysql>
mysql> CREATE FUNCTION hello (s CHAR(20)) RETURNS CHAR(50)
-> RETURN CONCAT('Hello, ',s,'!');
->
-> DELIMITER ;
-> //
The example in the manual has the "delimiter ;" line following the //
line, not preceding it.
ERROR 1064 (42000): 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 'RETURN CONCAT('Hello, ',s,'!');
DELIMITER' at line 2
