Multiple cursors in nested loops in MySQL

Question

I wish to do something which appear a bit complicated in MySQL. In fact, I wish to open a cursor, do a loop, and in this loop, open a second cursor using the data from the previous fetch to be executed, and re-loop on the results.

  DECLARE idind INT;
  DECLARE idcrit INT;
  DECLARE idindid INT;
  DECLARE done INT DEFAULT 0;
  DECLARE done2 INT DEFAULT 0;
  DECLARE curIndicateur CURSOR FOR SELECT id_indicateur FROM indicateur;
  DECLARE curCritereIndicateur CURSOR FOR SELECT C.id_critere FROM critere C where C.id_indicateur=idind;
  DECLARE CONTINUE HANDLER FOR SQLSTATE '02000' SET done = 1;

  set idindid=54;
  OPEN curIndicateur;
  REPEAT
    FETCH curIndicateur INTO idind;
    open curCritereIndicateur;
    REPEAT
      FETCH curIndicateur INTO idcrit;
      INSERT INTO SLA_DEMANDE_STATUS (iddemande,idindicateur,indicateur_status,progression) values('0009',idcrit,'OK',10.0);
    UNTIL done END REPEAT;
    close curCritereIndicateur;
  UNTIL done END REPEAT;
  CLOSE curIndicateur;

In fact, how to do 'Until done' differently for the two cursors, because you can only declare one handler for SQLSTATE? If the first ends, the second ends too.

You need to define a new BLOCK inside your 1st cursor loop and use different Declares in that block.

Something like:

BLOCK1: begin
    declare v_col1 int;                     
    declare no_more_rows boolean1 := FALSE;  
    declare cursor1 cursor for              
        select col1
        from   MyTable;
    declare continue handler for not found  
        set no_more_rows1 := TRUE;           
    open cursor1;
    LOOP1: loop
        fetch cursor1
        into  v_col1;
        if no_more_rows1 then
            close cursor1;
            leave LOOP1;
        end if;
        BLOCK2: begin
            declare v_col2 int;
            declare no_more_rows2 boolean := FALSE;
            declare cursor2 cursor for
                select col2
                from   MyOtherTable
                where  ref_id = v_col1;
           declare continue handler for not found
               set no_more_rows2 := TRUE;
            open cursor2;
            LOOP2: loop
                fetch cursor2
                into  v_col2;
                if no_more_rows then
                    close cursor2;
                    leave LOOP2;
                end if;
            end loop LOOP2;
        end BLOCK2;
    end loop LOOP1;
end BLOCK1;
