#We can store a value in a user-defined variable in a statement and then reference it in other statements. Here is how to store the value of a user-defined variable:
We can store a user-defined variable by issuing a SET statement as follows:
SET @var_name = expr[, @var_name = expr]…
In this sentence, @var_name is the variable name, consisting of alphanumeric characters in the current character set. We can use = or := assignment operator with SET statement.
For example, the following query can use the SET statement to store user variables −
mysql> SET @value = 500; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec) mysql> SET @value := 500; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec) mysql> SET @value = 500, @value1=550; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
There is no SET statement. We can also assign values to user variables in the statement as follows −
mysql> select @value,@value1, @value2 := @value+@value1; +--------+---------+---------------------------+ | @value | @value1 | @value2 := @value+@value1 | +--------+---------+---------------------------+ | 500 | 550 | 1050 | +--------+---------+---------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
In this case, we must use the := assignment operator.
