Create MySQL Stored Procedure with INOUT Parameter

Following example will demonstrate MySQL stored procedure with INOUT parameter −

mysql> DELIMITER // ;
mysql> Create PROCEDURE counter(INOUT count INT, IN increment INT)
    -> BEGIN
    -> SET count = count + increment;
    -> END //
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.03 sec)

Here, ‘count’ is the INOUT parameter, which can store and return values and ‘increment’ is the IN parameter, which accepts the values from user.

mysql> DELIMITER ;
mysql> SET @counter = 0;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> CALL counter(@Counter, 1);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> Select @Counter;
+----------+
| @Counter |
+----------+
| 1        |
+----------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> CALL counter(@Counter, 5);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> Select @Counter;
+----------+
| @Counter |
+----------+
| 6        |
+----------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
