MySQL stored procedures are programs that are stored and can be executed on the MySQL server. You can call stored procedure from any application over a distributed network. Stored procedures provide a means of interacting in a prescribed way with the database without placing any additional traffic on the network. Here I’m describing a stored procedure that I used to create some sample data.

To learn more about stored procedure checkout this link.

Suppose you may need to create a large number of dataset for a table and your table structure looks like this

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `dictionary` (
  `id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `word` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
  `mean` varchar(300) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
);

Now you’ve to add 110000 dummy data to this table. You can dump some dummy data to the table by the following way.

use databasename;
DELIMITER $$

DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS SampleProc$$
CREATE PROCEDURE SampleProc()
       BEGIN
               DECLARE x  INT;
               SET x = 1;
               WHILE x  <= 110000 DO
                   insert into dictionary(word, mean) VALUES('a','a mean');
                   SET  x = x + 1;
               END WHILE;
       END$$
   DELIMITER ;

So you created a stored procedure in mysql, now call the procedure

call SampleProc();

This procedure will insert 1,10,000 data in database table ‘dictionary’. So using mysql stored procedure its really very easy to create task specially for mysql.

I created this solution for one of my friend who wanted to check my another problem

In the above code I created a procedure named SampleProc() where I used a while loop. The loop will run 110000 times.

The code also uses the mysql client delimiter command to change the statement delimiter from ; to $$ while the procedure is being defined. This allows the ; delimiter used in the procedure body to be passed through to the server rather than being interpreted by mysql itself.
