Stored procedure with recursive call using mysql

Question

enter image description here get legside from binary

I tried using a stored procedure with a recursive call. I need to display the corresponding emp_name based name based on leg1

but it shows an error, for example, # 1414 - OUT or INOUT argument 2 for a regular pattern .getVolume is not a variable or NEW variable in a BEFORE trigger

Here is my code

DELIMITER $$
CREATE PROCEDURE getVolume( IN param_name VARCHAR(255), OUT result VARCHAR(255 ))
BEGIN 
SELECT val INTO result FROM employee WHERE emp_name = param_name ;
IF result IS NULL THEN
select result;
ELSE     
CALL getVolume(result, '');
END IF;
END $$
DELIMITER ;



SET @@GLOBAL.max_sp_recursion_depth = 255;
SET @@session.max_sp_recursion_depth = 255; 
call getVolume('new', @result);
select @result;

Answer 1

@Shadow's answer is correct. Here is a practical example that can help you:

DELIMITER //

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `employee`//
DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS `getVolume`//

CREATE TABLE `employee` (
  `emp_name` VARCHAR(255),
  `val` VARCHAR(255)
)//

INSERT INTO `employee` (`emp_name`, `val`)
VALUES
('demo', 'new'),
('new', 'd.new'),
('d.new', 'view'),
('view', 'hello'),
('hello', NULL)
//

CREATE PROCEDURE `getVolume`(
  IN `param_name` VARCHAR(255),
  OUT `result` VARCHAR(255)
)
BEGIN
  DECLARE `next_param_name` VARCHAR(255);
  SELECT `val` INTO `next_param_name`
  FROM `employee`
  WHERE `emp_name` = `param_name`;

  IF `next_param_name` IS NULL THEN
    SET `result` := `param_name`;
  ELSE
    -- CALL `getVolume`(`result`, '');
    CALL `getVolume`(`next_param_name`, `result`);
    -- SET `result` := CONCAT(`param_name`, ',', IFNULL(`result`, ''));
  END IF;
END//

DELIMITER ;

Answer 2

, getResult() getresult :

CALL getVolume(result, '');

. getVolume , getVolume . , 255 ?
