13.6.4 Variables in Stored Programs

System variables and user-defined variables can be used in stored programs, just as they can be used outside stored-program context. In addition, stored programs can use DECLARE to define local variables, and stored routines (procedures and functions) can be declared to take parameters that communicate values between the routine and its caller.

To declare local variables, use the DECLARE statement, as described in Section 13.6.4.1, “Local Variable DECLARE Syntax”.
Variables can be set directly with the SET statement. See Section 13.7.5.1, “SET Syntax for Variable Assignment”.
Results from queries can be retrieved into local variables using SELECT ... INTO var_list or by opening a cursor and using FETCH ... INTO var_list. See Section 13.2.10.1, “SELECT ... INTO Syntax”, and Section 13.6.6, “Cursors”.

For information about the scope of local variables and how MySQL resolves ambiguous names, see Section 13.6.4.2, “Local Variable Scope and Resolution”.

It is not permitted to assign the value DEFAULT to stored procedure or function parameters or stored program local variables (for example with a SET var_name = DEFAULT statement). In MySQL 8.0, this results in a syntax error.
