MySQL LEAVE
Summary: in this tutorial, you will learn how to the MySQL LEAVE
statement to exit a stored program or terminate a loop.
Introduction to MySQL LEAVE
statement
The LEAVE
statement exits the flow control that has a given label.
The following shows the basic syntax of the LEAVE
statement:
LEAVE label;
In this syntax, you specify the label of the block that you want to exit after the LEAVE
keyword.
Using the LEAVE
statement to exit a stored procedure
If the label
is the outermost of the stored procedure or function block, LEAVE
terminates the stored procedure or function.
The following statement shows how to use the LEAVE
statement to exit a stored procedure:
CREATE PROCEDURE sp_name()
sp: BEGIN
IF condition THEN
LEAVE sp;
END IF;
-- other statement
END$$
For example, this statement creates a new stored procedure that checks the credit of a given customer in the customers
table from the sample database:
DELIMITER $$
CREATE PROCEDURE CheckCredit(
inCustomerNumber int
)
sp: BEGIN
DECLARE customerCount INT;
-- check if the customer exists
SELECT
COUNT(*)
INTO customerCount
FROM
customers
WHERE
customerNumber = inCustomerNumber;
-- if the customer does not exist, terminate
-- the stored procedure
IF customerCount = 0 THEN
LEAVE sp;
END IF;
-- other logic
-- ...
END$$
DELIMITER ;
Using LEAVE
statement in loops
The LEAVE
the statement allows you to terminate a loop. The general syntax for the LEAVE
statement when used in the LOOP
, REPEAT
and WHILE
statements.
Using LEAVE
with the LOOP
statement:
[label]: LOOP
IF condition THEN
LEAVE [label];
END IF;
-- statements
END LOOP [label];
Using LEAVE
with the REPEAT
statement:
[label:] REPEAT
IF condition THEN
LEAVE [label];
END IF;
-- statements
UNTIL search_condition
END REPEAT [label];
Using LEAVE
with the WHILE
statement:
[label:] WHILE search_condition DO
IF condition THEN
LEAVE [label];
END IF;
-- statements
END WHILE [label];
The LEAVE
causes the current loop specified by the label
to be terminated. If a loop is enclosed within another loop, you can break out of both loops with a single LEAVE
statement.
Using LEAVE
statement in a loop example
The following stored procedure generates a string of integers with the number from 1 to a random number between 4 and 10:
DELIMITER $$
CREATE PROCEDURE LeaveDemo(OUT result VARCHAR(100))
BEGIN
DECLARE counter INT DEFAULT 1;
DECLARE times INT;
-- generate a random integer between 4 and 10
SET times = FLOOR(RAND()*(10-4+1)+4);
SET result = '';
disp: LOOP
-- concatenate counters into the result
SET result = concat(result,counter,',');
-- exit the loop if counter equals times
IF counter = times THEN
LEAVE disp;
END IF;
SET counter = counter + 1;
END LOOP;
END$$
DELIMITER ;
This statement calls the LeaveDemo
procedure:
CALL LeaveDemo(@result);
SELECT @result;
Here is one of the outputs:
+------------------+
| @result |
+------------------+
| 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8, |
+------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

statement to exit a stored program or terminate a loop.
