MySQL: Selecting multiple fields into multiple variables in a stored procedure

Question

Can I SELECT multiple columns into multiple variables within the same select query in MySQL?

For example:

DECLARE iId INT(20);

DECLARE dCreate DATETIME;

SELECT Id INTO iId, dateCreated INTO dCreate 

FROM products

WHERE pName=iName;

What is the correct syntax for this?

Answer 1

It looks like your syntax isn't quite right. You must list the fields in order before the INTO, and the corresponding target variables after like this:

SELECT Id, dateCreated

INTO iId, dCreate

FROM products

WHERE pName = iName
