SQL Stored Procedure

A stored procedure is a collection of pre-compiled SQL statements stored inside the


database. It is a subroutine or a subprogram in the regular computing language. A
procedure always contains a name, parameter lists, and SQL statements.

Syntax:
DELIMITER &&
CREATE PROCEDURE procedure_name [[IN | OUT | INOUT] parameter_name
datatype [, parameter datatype]) ]
BEGIN
Declaration_section
Executable_section
END &&
DELIMITER ;
Parameter Types:

1. IN parameter

It is the default mode. It takes a parameter as input, such as an attribute.


When we define it, the calling program has to pass an argument to the stored
procedure.

2. OUT parameters

It is used to pass a parameter as output. Its value can be changed inside the
stored procedure, and the changed (new) value is passed back to the calling
program.

3. INOUT parameters

It is a combination of IN and OUT parameters. It means the calling program


can pass the argument, and the procedure can modify the INOUT parameter,
and then passes the new value back to the calling program.

How to call a stored procedure?


We can use the CALL statement to call a stored procedure. This statement returns
the values to its caller through its parameters (IN, OUT, or INOUT). The following
syntax is used to call the stored procedure in MySQL:

CALL procedure_name ( parameter(s))
