MariaDB Error 1322: Invalid Cursor SELECT Statement

📦 MariaDB
📋

Description

This error indicates that a cursor defined within a MariaDB stored procedure is not associated with a `SELECT` statement. Cursors are designed to iterate over result sets, meaning their underlying statement must explicitly be a `SELECT` query to fetch data.

Known Causes

3 known causes
⚠️
Non-SELECT Statement in Cursor
The most common cause is attempting to define a cursor with a statement other than `SELECT`, such as `INSERT`, `UPDATE`, `DELETE`, or `SET`, which is not permitted.
⚠️
Malformed SELECT Query
Even if a `SELECT` statement is intended, syntax errors within the query itself can cause the parser to misinterpret it, leading to this error.
⚠️
Incorrect Cursor Definition Syntax
Users new to MariaDB stored procedures or cursors might mistakenly use an incorrect syntax for declaring a cursor, not realizing it strictly requires a `SELECT` statement.
