How to echo print statements while executing a sql script

Question

We have a simple sql script which needs to be executed against a MySQL database and we would like print log statements on the progress of the script (e.g. Inserted 10 record

Answer 1

Just to make your script more readable, maybe use this proc:

DELIMITER ;;

DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS printf;
CREATE PROCEDURE printf(thetext TEXT)
BEGIN

  select thetext as ``;

 END;

;;

DELIMITER ;

Now you can just do:

call printf('Counting products that have missing short description');
