mysql - syntax error : 1064 , when creating a stored procedure -

create table parent_user  ( userid int  auto_increment primary key,  username varchar(100) not null,     password varchar(200) not null,     email varchar(200) not null   ); 

edit : ok made changes:

create procedure `parent_reg` ( pusername varchar(100) ppassword varchar(200) pemail varchar(200) ) begin declare count int declare returncode int  select count = count(username) parent_user username = @username if count > 0 begin       set returncode = -1     end     else     begin        set returncode = 1       insert parent_user values       (pusername, ppassword, pemail)     end     select preturncode returnvalue      end 

but still got same error- error 1064: have error in sql syntax; check manual corresponds mysql server version right syntax use near 'ppassword varchar(200) pemail varchar(200) ) ....'

the syntax error @ 'ppassword varchar(200)'

this invalid syntax mysql stored procedure. code posted looks more microsoft sql server (transact sql) syntax.

some observations:

mysql procedure variables cannot start @. (that character reserved user-defined variables.)

mysql doesn't use nvarchar type. believe it's setting of character_set_client variable in session (at time procedure created) controls characterset of procedure variables.

the line select * parent_user, before create procedure looks entirely out of place.

missing semicolons. insert table 4 columns, 3 values, , there's no column list. lots of other oddly bizarre syntax.

if goal create stored procedure in mysql, you'd need syntax closer this:

delimiter $$  create procedure parent_reg(p_username varchar(100), p_password varchar(200), p_email varchar(200) ) begin   declare mycount int;   declare myreturncode int;    select count(pu.username)     mycount     `parent_user` pu    pu.username = p_username;    if (mycount > 0 )     set myreturncode = -1;   else     set myreturncode = 1;     insert `parent_user` (`username`, `password`, `email`)     values (p_username, p_password, p_email);   end if;   select myreturncode `returnvalue`; end$$  delimiter ;
