MySQL delimiter syntax error

Question

I\'m trying to change the MySQL command delimiter so I can create a procedure with multiple commands in it. However, the delimiter command does not seem to be recognised on

Answer 1

DELIMITER is not a MySQL command. It's a command that your MySQL client needs to support. I was running PHPMyAdmin 2.8.2.4, which didn't support it. When I upgraded to the newest version, which is currently 3.4.9, it worked just fine. Your MySQL version has nothing to do with DELIMITER and whether it's supported or not.
