I want to call a query to update a mysql table but my query contains an if statement
set @id = 0;
set @the_number = 0;
set @the_message = 0;
set @selected_message = 0;
SELECT id, dest_msisdn, text_message INTO @id, @the_number, @the_message FROM incoming_sms where service_id = 6015592000101762 AND job_status = 0 limit 1;
if(@the_message LIKE '%Bank%')then
select 'h';
/* Update Statement Here*/
else
select 'nothing to see here';
end if;
This is the error that i get.
#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'if(@the_message LIKE '%Bank%')then
select 'h'' at line 1
In the mysql manual found here for if
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/if.html
it explains The IF statement for stored programs implements a basic conditional construct....
Are If
statements usable outside stored procedures?.
Best Answer
Use the IF() function
Give it a Try !!!
