Getting syntax errors when creating function












0















I have been spending over 2 hours now trying to google my way to the answer.



I am completely new to SQL and MySQL and I have tried to write the following function:



CREATE FUNCTION fp_spinofffactor (id char(8), startdate date)
RETURNS float
BEGIN
DECLARE spinoffFactor float; (ERROR- EXPECTED A ";")
select spinoffFactor = ISNULL(EXP(SUM(LOG(spinoffFactor))),1)
from(
select case when (prev_price- divs) <= 0 THEN 1
else (prev_price- divs)/prev_price end as spinoffFactor
from (select
divs,
fp_v2.fp_prevUnadjPrice(id, ex_date) as prev_price
from (
select sum(fbd.p_divs_pd) as divs,fbd.p_divs_exdate as ex_date
from fp_v2.fp_basic_dividends fbd
where fbd.fsym_id = id
and fbd.p_divs_s_pd=1
and fbd.p_divs_exdate > startdate
group by fbd.p_divs_exdate ) a ) b ) c;
return spinofffactor; ERROR (Return is not valid at this position)
END ERROR (END IS NOT VALID AT THIS position)


But I get multiple syntax errors. I have written the errors where I get them.



I have a hard time finding information about the syntax rules of MySQL and the workbench.



Can anyone help ?

          You need to provide delimiter in MySql workbench to tell where your code begins and ends.
          Assuming your syntax is correct, you can write as below.



          DELIMITER $$
          CREATE FUNCTION fp_spinofffactor (id char(8), startdate date)
          RETURNS float
          BEGIN
          DECLARE spinoffFactor float;
          select spinoffFactor = ISNULL(EXP(SUM(LOG(spinoffFactor))),1)
          from(
          select case when (prev_price- divs) <= 0 THEN 1
          else (prev_price- divs)/prev_price end as spinoffFactor
          from (select
          divs,
          fp_v2.fp_prevUnadjPrice(id, ex_date) as prev_price
          from (
          select sum(fbd.p_divs_pd) as divs,fbd.p_divs_exdate as ex_date
          from fp_v2.fp_basic_dividends fbd
          where fbd.fsym_id = id
          and fbd.p_divs_s_pd=1
          and fbd.p_divs_exdate > startdate
          group by fbd.p_divs_exdate ) a ) b ) c;
          return spinofffactor;
          END$$
          DELIMITER ;


          You can also, run this from MySQL command prompt and it should work.
