Is it required to use "declare" keyword at the top of stored procedure?
I need to declare a cursor. But before I could declare that cursor, I need to execute some statements to get needed values.
How to do this?

I'm using MySql 5.5.8
Thanks!

Solution 1

you can declare a value or cursor before use of in the code. So it is not a must that it should be at the top. You can declare your cursos after some statements

I've tried already.
- If I declare at the top beginning of stored procedure it work.
- But if I declare after some statements, it doesn't work.
I'm using MySql.
