Part I. Stored Programming Fundamentals

This first part of the book introduces the MySQL stored program language and provides a detailed description of the language structure and usage. Chapter 1 asks the fundamental questions: Where did the language come from? What is it good for? What are the main features of the language? Chapter 2 is a tutorial that is designed to get you started with the language as quickly as possible; it shows you how to create basic stored programs of each type and provides interactive examples of major language functions. Chapters 3 through 6 describe the MySQL stored program language in detail: how to work with variables, how to implement conditional and iterative control structures, how SQL can be used within the language, and how errors can be handled.
