using “if” and “else” Stored Procedures MySQL

Question

I\'m having some difficulties when trying to create this stored procedure, any kind of help is welcome:

create procedure checando(in nombrecillo varchar(30),         


        

Answer 1

I think that this construct: if exists (select... is specific for MS SQL. In MySQL EXISTS predicate tells you whether the subquery finds any rows and it's used like this: SELECT column1 FROM t1 WHERE EXISTS (SELECT * FROM t2);

You can rewrite the above lines of code like this:

DELIMITER $$

CREATE PROCEDURE `checando`(in nombrecillo varchar(30), in contrilla varchar(30), out resultado int)

BEGIN
    DECLARE count_prim INT;
    DECLARE count_sec INT;

    SELECT COUNT(*) INTO count_prim FROM compas WHERE nombre = nombrecillo AND contrasenia = contrilla;
    SELECT COUNT(*) INTO count_sec FROM FROM compas WHERE nombre = nombrecillo;

    if (count_prim > 0) then
        set resultado = 0;
    elseif (count_sec > 0) then
        set resultado = -1;
    else 
        set resultado = -2;
    end if;
    SELECT resultado;
END
