Syntax for input parameters in a MySQL query

Question

We recently switched a database from MSSQL to MySQL and the queries that uses parameters does'nt work anymore.

Here's an example of a query in MSSQL:

SELECT * FROM users u WHERE u.ID = :id

Normally, the parameter browser would popup and ask me for a value for :id, but in MySQL I get this error :

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 ':id'

I tried using a @ or ? instead of : and it does'nt work.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Answer 1

syntax is not the same

set @id:=123;
SELECT * FROM users u WHERE u.ID = @id;
