Kevin,
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.
Eh? Backticks merely permit use of reserved words as identifiers.

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?
