Re: Random name for temp table

Posted By: Art Kagel
Date: Thursday, 20 March 2014, at 4:29 p.m.

In Response To: Re: Random name for temp table (VIKAS HIVARKAR)

Don't use a FOREACH. Build the SELECT in a string, PREPARE it, DECLARE a
cursor against the prepared statement, then OPEN cursorname and use a FOR
or WHILE loop to FETCH cursorname INTO ... inside the loop, EXIT out of the
look if SQLCODE != 0 after the FETCH, RETURN whatever you need to return,
then CLOSE the cursor and FREE it before returning from the function. You
can check error conditions using SQLCODE as well when it is < 0 (100 ==
end-of-data).

Here's a link to an article about this:
