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

Simple solution

CREATE PROCEDURE `some_proc` (
IN _START INTEGER, 
IN _LIMIT INTEGER 
)
BEGIN 
PREPARE STMT FROM 
" SELECT * FROM products LIMIT ?,? "; 
SET @START = _START; 
SET @LIMIT = _LIMIT; 
EXECUTE STMT USING @START, @LIMIT;
DEALLOCATE PREPARE STMT;
END $$ 

Try prepare statement in stored procedure.
