How can we use while loops in MySQL? My test script:
BEGIN
SELECT 0 INTO @n;
WHILE @n < 10 DO
SELECT @n;
SET @n := @n +1;
END WHILE;
END;
But it has syntax errors. I'm running the loop using the SQLyog client in a standard query window. The syntax errors are of the following form:
Error Code: 1064
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near...
I've also tried to use the while loop example provided by https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/while.html but it still didn't work.
Which part of the script is wrong? (Using MySQL 5.6.)
I'm trying to make a 6 month moving average of some data so I was hoping that a while loop would be able to append the "new" 6 month average onto the "old" 6 month average through each iteration of the loop.
