Study Notes
MySQL Error Handling in Stored Procedures
- Purpose: To manage errors encountered within stored procedures, ensuring appropriate actions like continuing execution or exiting, along with informative error messages.
- Mechanism: MySQL provides "handlers" for error management, allowing you to define specific actions for different error conditions.
-
Handler Declaration Syntax:
DECLARE action HANDLER FOR condition_value statement;-
action: Determines the action to take upon encountering the error.-
CONTINUE: Continue execution of the current block (BEGIN...END). -
EXIT: Terminate execution of the current block.
-
-
condition_value: Specifies the error condition to trigger the handler.-
Types:
- MySQL error code: Specific numerical error codes.
- SQLSTATE value: Standard SQLSTATE values.
-
Shorthand conditions:
-
SQLWARNING: For warnings. -
NOTFOUND: For cursor or SELECT INTO variable_list statements where no row is found. -
SQLEXCEPTION: For exceptions (broad category).
-
- Named conditions: Alias for either a MySQL error code or SQLSTATE value.
-
Types:
-
statement: The code to execute when the condition_value is matched. Can be simple or compound (enclosed withinBEGIN...END).
-
Example 1 - Continue Execution on SQLEXCEPTION
-
Example Code:
DECLARE CONTINUE HANDLER FOR SQLEXCEPTION SET hasError = 1; -
Action: Sets the
hasErrorvariable to 1 and continues execution. - Scenario: Useful for indicating an error occurred but allows the procedure to continue with potentially modified data/logic.
Example 2 - Rollback and Exit on SQLEXCEPTION
-
Example Code:
DECLARE EXIT HANDLER FOR SQLEXCEPTION BEGIN ROLLBACK; SELECT 'An error has occurred.'; -- Additional error logging or cleanup could be added here. END; -
Action:
-
ROLLBACK: Reverts any changes made within the current transaction. -
SELECT 'An error has occurred.';: Provides a basic error message (consider more informative messages). -
EXIT: Terminates execution of the code block (potentially the entire stored procedure).
-
- Scenario: Offers a stronger, more fail-safe approach by rolling back any data changes and providing a clear indication of the failure.
