Oto prosty przykład użycia dwóch kursorów w tej samej procedurze:
DELIMITER $$
CREATE PROCEDURE `books_routine`()
BEGIN
DECLARE rowCountDescription INT DEFAULT 0;
DECLARE rowCountTitle INT DEFAULT 0;
DECLARE updateDescription CURSOR FOR
SELECT id FROM books WHERE description IS NULL OR CHAR_LENGTH(description) < 10;
DECLARE updateTitle CURSOR FOR
SELECT id FROM books WHERE title IS NULL OR CHAR_LENGTH(title) <= 10;
OPEN updateDescription;
BEGIN
DECLARE exit_flag INT DEFAULT 0;
DECLARE book_id INT(10);
DECLARE CONTINUE HANDLER FOR SQLSTATE '02000' SET exit_flag = 1;
updateDescriptionLoop: LOOP
FETCH updateDescription INTO book_id;
IF exit_flag THEN LEAVE updateDescriptionLoop;
END IF;
UPDATE books SET description = 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.' WHERE books.id = book_id;
SET rowCountDescription = rowCountDescription + 1;
END LOOP;
END;
CLOSE updateDescription;
OPEN updateTitle;
BEGIN
DECLARE exit_flag INT DEFAULT 0;
DECLARE book_id INT(10);
DECLARE CONTINUE HANDLER FOR SQLSTATE '02000' SET exit_flag = 1;
updateTitleLoop: LOOP
FETCH updateTitle INTO book_id;
IF exit_flag THEN LEAVE updateTitleLoop;
END IF;
UPDATE books SET title = 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet' WHERE books.id = book_id;
SET rowCountTitle = rowCountTitle + 1;
END LOOP;
END;
CLOSE updateTitle;
SELECT 'number of titles updated =', rowCountTitle, 'number of descriptions updated =', rowCountDescription;
END
