Variables
Local variables can be declared within stored procedures using the
DECLARE statement. Variable names follow the same naming rules
as MySQL table column names and can be of any MySQL data type. You can
give variables an initial value with the DEFAULT clause and assign them new values
using the SET command, as shown in
Figure 2-5.
