This document discusses functions in MySQL. It defines a function as a stored program that accepts parameters and returns a value. It provides the syntax to create and drop functions in MySQL. An example is given to create a function called CalcIncome that calculates income based on a starting value parameter. Finally, a practical problem is presented to create a Customer table, insert data, and define a function to determine a customer's level based on their credit limit.

PROBLEM STATEMENT

Functions in MySQL

What is a function in MySQL?

In MySQL, a function is a stored program that you can pass parameters into and then return a value.

Create Function

Just as you can create functions in other languages, you can create your own functions in MySQL. Let's
take a closer look.

Syntax

The syntax to create a function in MySQL is:

CREATE FUNCTION function_name [ (parameter datatype [, parameter


datatype]) ]
RETURNS return_datatype

BEGIN

declaration_section

executable_section
END;

function_name

The name to assign to this function in MySQL.

parameter

One or more parameters passed into the function. When creating a function, all parameters are
considered to be IN parameters (not OUT or INOUT parameters) where the parameters can be
referenced by the function but can not be overwritten by the function.

return_datatype

DBMS LAB VI 1 VIPIN KUMAR SARAOGI


The data type of the function's return value.

declaration_section

The place in the function where you declare local variables.

executable_section

The place in the function where you enter the code for the function.

Drop Function

Once you have created your function in MySQL, you might find that you need to remove it from the
database.
Syntax

The syntax to a drop a function in MySQL is:

DROP FUNCTION [ IF EXISTS ] function_name;

function_name

The name of the function that you wish to drop.

PRACTICAL EXERCISE
Let's look at an example that shows how to create a function in MySQL:

DELIMITER //

CREATE FUNCTION CalcIncome ( starting_value INT )


RETURNS INT

BEGIN

DECLARE income INT;

DBMS LAB VI 2 VIPIN KUMAR SARAOGI


SET income = 0;

label1: WHILE income <= 3000 DO


SET income = income + starting_value;
END WHILE label1;

RETURN income;

END; //
DELIMITER ;

You could then reference your new function as follows:

SELECT CalcIncome (1000);

A very basic CREATE FUNCTION example which will produced the famed 'Hello World' output:

DELIMITER $$
CREATE FUNCTION hello_world()
RETURNS TEXT
LANGUAGE SQL
BEGIN
RETURN 'Hello World';
END;
$$
DELIMITER ;

PRACTICAL PROBLEM

DBMS LAB VI 3 VIPIN KUMAR SARAOGI


Create Table “Customer” with following schema.

Cid CHAR(4) Primary Key


Name VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL
Creditlimit INTEGER

Insert following values in Customer table.

Cid Name Creditlimit


1001 Aditya 20000
1002 Deepak 30000
1003 Harsh 40000
1004 Sunita 15000
1005 Vineeta 50000

Create function to determine customer level in basis of following scale

If creditlimit >= 40000 Customer level = “Platinum”

If creditlimit >= 20000 and < 40000 Customer level = “Gold”

If creditlimit < 20000 Customer level = “Silver”

SOLUTION
Query to create table “Customer”
CREATE TABLE CUSTOMER
( Cid CHAR(4) PRIMARY KEY,
Name VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,
Creditlimit INTEGER );

Insert values in customer table

INSERT INTO CUSTOMER VALUES (‘1001’,’Aditya’,20000);


INSERT INTO CUSTOMER VALUES (‘1002’,’Deepak’,30000);
INSERT INTO CUSTOMER VALUES (‘1003’,’Harsh’,40000);
INSERT INTO CUSTOMER VALUES (‘1004’,’Sunita’,15000);
INSERT INTO CUSTOMER VALUES (‘1005’,’Vineeta’,50000);

Function to determine customer level

DELIMITER $$

CREATE FUNCTION CustomerLevel(p_creditLimit double) RETURNS VARCHAR(10)


DETERMINISTIC
BEGIN
DECLARE level varchar(10);

IF p_creditLimit >= 40000 THEN


SET level = 'PLATINUM';
ELSEIF (p_creditLimit < 40000 AND p_creditLimit >= 20000) THEN
SET level = 'GOLD';
ELSEIF p_creditLimit < 20000 THEN
SET level = 'SILVER';
END IF;

RETURN (level);
END ;
$$
DELIMITER ;

Query to use the function

SELECT Name, CustomerLevel(Creditlimit)


FROM
Customer
ORDER BY
Name;
