What is the mechanism to force the MySQL to throw an error within the stored procedure? I have a procedure which call s another function: PREPARE my_cmd FROM @jobcommand; EXECUTE my_cmd; DEALLOCATE PREPARE my_cmd; the job command is: jobq.exec("Select 1;wfdlk# to simulatte an error"); then: CREATE PROCEDURE jobq.`exec`(jobID VARCHAR(128),cmd TEXT) BEGIN DECLARE result INT DEFAULT 0; SELECT sys_exec( CONCAT('echo ',cmd,' | base64 -d > ', '/tmp/jobq.',jobID,'.sh ; bash /tmp/jobq.',jobID,'.sh &> /tmp/jobq.',jobID)) INTO result; IF result>0 THEN # call raise_mysql_error(result); END IF; END; My jobq.exec is always succeeding. Are there way to rise an error? How to implement raise_mysql_error function?? BTW I am using MySQL 5.5.8 thanks Arman. mysql stored-procedures throw stored-functions shareimprove this question asked Feb 1 '11 at 13:06 Arman 1,89652952

You may use following stored procedure to emulate error-throwing: CREATE PROCEDURE `raise`(`errno` BIGINT UNSIGNED, `message` VARCHAR(256)) BEGIN SIGNAL SQLSTATE 'ERR0R' SET MESSAGE_TEXT = `message`, MYSQL_ERRNO = `errno`; END Example: CALL `raise`(1356, 'My Error Message');
