Hi,
I have a bit of a weird question. A couple of rows in a table I'm
importing with data has WWWWWW_D_D_D style row content which is
different from the usual WWWWWW_DD format data which many millions of
rows contain. During the process of normalising the data is there any
way to distinguish during a stored procedure which format is being used
prior to deciding how to store the extra D_D_D differently to the DD one?
DROP FUNCTION IF EXISTS addpackage;
DELIMITER $$
CREATE FUNCTION `addpackage` (application VARCHAR(10)) RETURNS int(11)
DETERMINISTIC
BEGIN
DECLARE number_id INT;
DECLARE number_check VARCHAR(2);
DECLARE duplicate_key CONDITION FOR SQLSTATE '23000';
DECLARE CONTINUE HANDLER FOR duplicate_key SET @duplicate = 1;
SET @duplicate = 0;
SELECT SUBSTRING(application from 8 for 2) INTO number_check;
IF number_check = '' THEN
RETURN '-1';
END IF;
INSERT INTO packages (package_id, client_id, package_name) VALUES
(SUBSTRING(application from 8 for 2), 0, '');
SELECT package_id INTO number_id FROM packages WHERE
package_id=SUBSTRING(application from 8 for 2);
RETURN number_id;
END $$
DELIMITER ;
Regards
