WEHRE IN array values using stored procedure

Question

I have a select query that uses a WHERE IN clause in a MemSQL database. The list of values searched in are a result of another select query.

Before, I inserted the values for that clause as a string through a web service like so: (1,2,3..).

Now I want to move the second query into a stored procedure, and have the values mentioned above be a part of the parameters for that procedure.

Say I have a table:

create table t (num int);

Then when I try to create the sp:

DELIMITER //
CREATE PROCEDURE test (nums ARRAY(INT)) AS 
BEGIN
ECHO SELECT * FROM t WHERE num IN nums;
END //
DELIMITER ;

I get:

ERROR 1064 (42000): Compilation error in function `test` near line 3: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'nums'

So apparently it doesn't work that way. Is there way I can get this to recognize the data type I'm inserting? I want to avoid manipulating strings, but if there is no choice, would it require running the query as a string in the stored procedure?

Answer 1

Try adding nums in brackets so it can complete the required syntax.

DELIMITER //
CREATE PROCEDURE test (nums ARRAY(INT)) 
AS 
BEGIN
ECHO SELECT * FROM t WHERE num 
IN(nums);
END //
DELIMITER ;
