Trying to run a loop statement, but it fails at the first line with - Variable 'i' not found. Do I need to define this first somehow? Thanks SET i = 203; WHILE i <= 264 LOOP SELECT Cust_Name AS RC_Name FROM Customers WHERE Customer_ID = i ; --- INSERT STATEMENTS --- SET i = i + 1; END LOOP; |

Hi, you need to declare or create it first: CREATE VARIABLE i INTEGER; Alternatively, you will need to declare it, but then you will need to use compound statement: BEGIN DECLARE i INTEGER; --YOUR CODE-- END; Compound statement?

You probably don't want that first one -- that creates a connection-scope variable that persists until your connection is dropped or you explicitly drop the variable.

Using CREATE VARIABLE throws - Syntax error near 'SET'

Using BEGIN and END; (Compound Statement??) works - thank you

That is actually the definition of a "compound statement"... a BEGIN ... END.

We have an isolated existence here :-) Will try to remember that.
