I'm trying to write a my sql function doing the following things: 1- get the table name used in join as a parameter.
but I get mysql syntax error
1064 - 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 'table DETERMINISTIC
BEGIN select `r`.`id` AS `id`, (case ' at line 2
This is my query
DELIMITER $$
CREATE FUNCTION getTranslation (tablename varchar(50),entity varchar(20),itemid int,lang char(3))
RETURNS table
DETERMINISTIC
BEGIN
select
`r`.`id` AS `id`,
(case
when isnull(`t`.`descr`) then `r`.`descr_ml`
else `t`.`descr`
end) AS `descr`
from
(tablename `r`
left join `g001_translation` `t` ON ((`t`.`item_id` = `r`.`id`)))
END$$
DELIMITER ;
I the select part works fine with static table name by the way.
