Split strings using mysql

Viewed 44230

I want to create a stored procedure which will do matching of two tables. My requirement is to match two tables based on the columns user passes as an input.

Syntax:

CREATE PROCEDURE reconcile.matchTables(
  IN TAB1 VARCHAR(25), 
  IN TAB1 VARCHAR(25), 
  IN COLS1 VARCHAR(250) , 
  IN COLS2 VARCHAR(250))

EX:

matchTables('table1', 'table2', 'col1#col2#col3#col4' , 'col2#col13#col1#col8')

Now the stored procedure should form the where clause like the following

table1.col1 = table2.col2 
  and table1.col2 = table2.col13 
  and table1.col3 = table2.col1 
  and table1.col4 = table2.col8

CHAR_LENGTH - return correct length in chars

CREATE FUNCTION SPLIT_STR(
  x VARCHAR(255),
  delim VARCHAR(12),
  pos INT
)
RETURNS VARCHAR(255)
RETURN REPLACE(SUBSTRING(SUBSTRING_INDEX(x, delim, pos),
       CHAR_LENGTH(SUBSTRING_INDEX(x, delim, pos -1)) + 1),
       delim, '');
