I'm trying to understand MySQL Stored Procedures, I want to check if a users login credentials are valid and if so, update the users online status:
-- DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS checkUser;
DELIMITER //
CREATE PROCEDURE checkUser(IN in_email VARCHAR(80), IN in_password VARCHAR(50))
BEGIN
SELECT id, name FROM users WHERE email = in_email AND password = in_password LIMIT 1;
-- If result is 1, UPDATE users SET online = 1 WHERE id = "result_id";
END //
DELIMITER ;
How Can I make this if-statement based on the resultsets number of rows == 1 or id IS NOT NULL?
DELIMITER //
CREATE PROCEDURE checkUser(IN in_email VARCHAR(80), IN in_password VARCHAR(50))
BEGIN
DECLARE tempId INT DEFAULT 0;
DECLARE tempName VARCHAR(50) DEFAULT NULL;
DECLARE done INT DEFAULT 0;
DECLARE cur CURSOR FOR
SELECT id, name FROM users WHERE email = in_email AND password = in_password;
DECLARE CONTINUE HANDLER FOR NOT FOUND SET done = 1;
OPEN cur;
REPEAT
FETCH cur INTO tempId, tempName;
UPDATE users SET online = 1 WHERE id = tempId;
UNTIL done = 1 END REPEAT;
CLOSE cur;
SELECT tempName;
END //
DELIMITER ;
NB: I have not tested this. It's possible that MySQL doesn't like UPDATE against a table it currently has a cursor open for.
PS: You should reconsider how you're storing passwords.
Re comment about RETURN
vs. OUT
vs. result set:
RETURN
is used only in stored functions, not stored procedures. Stored functions are used when you want to call the routine within another SQL expression.
SELECT LCASE( checkUserFunc(?, ?) );
You can use an OUT
parameter, but you have to declare a user variable first to pass as that parameter. And then you have to select that user variable to get its value anyway.
SET @outparam = null;
CALL checkUser(?, ?, @outparam);
SELECT @outparam;
When returning result sets from a stored procedure, it's easiest to use a SELECT
query.
Use:
UPDATE USERS
SET online = 1
WHERE EXISTS(SELECT NULL
FROM USERS t
WHERE t.email = IN_EMAIL
AND t.password = IN_PASSWORD
AND t.id = id)
AND id = 'result_id'
Why do you have LIMIT 1
on your SELECT? Do you really expect an email and password to be in the db more than once?
You could try an if statement if you have an result which returns 1
i looked at yor code, it seems nothing returns a true so you have to refactor it,
as above omg wrote thats realy true why do you have an limit 1 in your select query where only one emailadress can exisst?
something like this
update users set if(result==1,online=1,online=0) where email=emailadress
