How can I simulate a print statement in MySQL?
mysql
Solution
If you do not want to the text twice as column heading as well as value, use the following stmt!
SELECT 'some text' as '';
Example:
mysql>SELECT 'some text' as '';
+-----------+
| |
+-----------+
| some text |
+-----------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
Problem
I have some procedures where I would like to get some kind of acknowledgement after a condition has been assessed. For example, the pusedocode would be like, ``` if ( select count(*) from assgn to where eid = 1 ) > 5 print " the total number of projects employee working is more than 5 " else insert the value into the assgnto table ``` How should I go about doing that in MySQL?
