Query with values prepended by ampersand works in Oracle but not in MySQL?

Ampersands work in Oracle. To work it in MySQL, use @ as shown in the following syntax −

SET @yourVariableName1 = yourValue, @yourVariableName2 = yourValue, @yourVariableName3 =yourValue,.........N;
insert into yourTableName values(@yourVariableName1,@yourVariableName2,@yourVariableName3,........N);

To understand the above syntax, let us create a table. The query to create a table is as follows −

mysql> create table Student_Information
   -> (
   -> StudentId int,
   -> StudentName varchar(100),
   -> StudentAge int,
   -> StudentMarks int,
   -> StudentCountryName varchar(10)
   -> );
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.75 sec)

Here is the query with values prepended by @. Insert some records in the table using insert command. −

mysql> SET @Id = 10001, @Name = 'Carol', @Age =23 ,@Marks =89, @CountryName = 'US';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> insert into Student_Information values(@Id, @Name, @Age ,@Marks, @CountryName);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.19 sec)

Now you can display all records from the table using select statement. The query is as follows −

mysql> select *from Student_Information;

Here is the output −

+-----------+-------------+------------+--------------+--------------------+
| StudentId | StudentName | StudentAge | StudentMarks | StudentCountryName |
+-----------+-------------+------------+--------------+--------------------+
| 10001     | Carol       | 23         | 89           | US                 |
+-----------+-------------+------------+--------------+--------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
