Answer 1

Hi Can you please try below code with changing the delimiter:

    delimiter $$
    create function fun1() returns int(1) 

    begin

    return 1;

    end$$

    delimiter ;

Hope it will work for you.

MySql use ; as default delimiter so delimiters other than the default ; are typically used when defining functions, stored procedures, and triggers wherein you must define multiple statements. You define a different delimiter like $$ which is used to define the end of the entire procedure, but inside it, individual statements are each terminated by ; . That way, when the code is run in the mysql client, the client can tell where the entire procedure ends and execute it as a unit rather than executing the individual statements inside.
