I am trying to create a stored function.
>From the docs I saw the code for this function:
CREATE FUNCTION hello (s CHAR(20)) RETURNS CHAR(50)
DETERMINISTIC
RETURN CONCAT('Hello, ',s,'!');
The version from the docs did not contain the DETERMINISTIC keyword.
I added because it would not compile.
The problem is that if I change the code to:
CREATE FUNCTION hello (s CHAR(20)) RETURNS CHAR(50)
DETERMINISTIC
LANGUAGE SQL
BEGIN
RETURN CONCAT('Hello, ',s,'!');
END;
I get the error message:
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 'END'
at line 1
Can someone shed some light about the syntax of functions?
The docs didn't help much.
Thanks for your help.
