The problem occurs because the parameter names are the same as the column names. I'm not sure why, since the columns are specified in quotes, but it does.
Thanks, Kevin -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Baynes [mailto:kbay...@bluezonesoftware.com] Sent: Wednesday, May 26, 2010 10:07 AM To: mysql@lists.mysql.com Subject: Impossible Out Param Return Value Using MySql 5.1, I have a very simple table with 1 row. I have a Stored Procedure to select if the row exists. I expect the test of this SP to return null, but it returns a value! The value is always returned if the 'path' matches, regardless of the other values being tested. If the 'path' does not match, it returns NULL as expected. Has anyone seen this before? Thanks, Kevin -- Full explanation below: -- Table 'file_detail' with 1 row: id_file_detail, id_file, id_machine, id_user, path 1 , 1 , 1 , 1 , C:\Program Files\BlueZone -- Stored Procedure to see if row exists: -- DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS `find_file_detail`$$ CREATE PROCEDURE `find_file_detail` ( IN id_file int(11), IN id_machine int(11), IN id_user int(11), IN filePath varchar(255), OUT keyOut int(11) ) BEGIN SELECT `id_file_detail` INTO keyOut FROM `file_detail` WHERE (`id_file` = id_file AND `id_machine` = id_machine AND `id_user` = id_user AND `path` = filePath) LIMIT 1; END$$ -- SQL used to test the stored procedure: -- SET @keyOut = NULL; CALL find_file_detail(99,99,99,'C:\\Program Files\\BlueZone',@keyOut); SELECT @keyOut; -- Notice there is 1 row, the values of 99 do not exist, but the path does exist. This test will return @keyOut = 1. How is this possible? If I change the path string to use 'BlueZone1' (so the paths do not match), then this test will return @keyOut = NULL as expected. It seems as though the only thing getting matched is the path and the other 3 values are being ignored. Does this make sense to anyone?
