passing LIMIT as parameters to MySQL sproc

Question

I\'m creating a paging class and need to pass in two parameters to my MySQL stored procedure for the LIMIT clause.

I\'m passing them in as INTs and trying something

Answer 1

The following worked just fine in MySQL 5.5.35. It also worked in another procedure where the same SELECT was used within a DECLARE . . . CURSOR statement.

CREATE PROCEDURE `test`(
  IN `lim_val` INT,
  IN `lim_offset` INT
)
BEGIN
  SELECT array_ident_id
    FROM ArrayIdents
    ORDER BY array_ident_id
    LIMIT lim_val OFFSET lim_offset;
END;
