Re: Stored Proceedure Not doing anything...?

[Peter Brawley]

Once the declaration of _new_category_id is moved above the cursor declaration, it compiles.

However ...

(i) the logic is suspect. the product_id value that's just been inserted should be retrieved with last_insert_id(), not with select max(prodct_id...), which can return the wrong value.

(ii) It's poor practice to write table identifers in camel or "Hungarian" case.

(iii) it does no error handling or reporting. and since it's supposed to be writing data, it should.

You have the tables & data, we don't, so only you can debug it. The method is to write Select stubs showing how each step proceeds.

Whether it otherwise behaves according to the spec, I can't tell without the tables and sample data.
