Syntax error when calling stored procedure inside stored procedure

Question

I'm trying to call a stored procedure inside another stored procedure.

I'm getting a syntax error in the statement where main procedure calls the child procedure.

here is my query

DROP  PROCEDURE GetAllProducts;

DELIMITER //

CREATE PROCEDURE GetAllProducts()
BEGIN

DECLARE finished INT DEFAULT 0; 
DECLARE myName varchar(60);
DEClARE myCursor CURSOR FOR
SELECT Name FROM Test;

DECLARE CONTINUE HANDLER 
FOR NOT FOUND SET finished =1 ;



OPEN myCursor;

get_email: LOOP
FETCH myCursor INTO myName;
IF finished = 1 THEN
 LEAVE get_email;
END IF;

-- Line which shows a syntax error
EXEC UpdateProdcut myName;

END LOOP get_email;




CLOSE myCursor;
DEALLOCATE myCursor;


END //
DELIMITER ;

This is the error message

ERROR 1064 (42000): 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 'UpdateProdcut myName OUTPUT;

mysql version is 5.5.54

any idea about this ?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Use CALL instead:

call UpdateProdcut(myName);

execute is used for prepared statements.
