How can I simulate a print statement in MySQL?
MysqlMysql Problem Overview
I have some procedures where I would like to get some kind of acknowledgement after a condition has been assessed.
For example, the pusedocode would be like,
if ( select count(*) from assgn to where eid = 1 ) > 5
print " the total number of projects employee working is more than 5 "
else
insert the value into the assgnto table
How should I go about doing that in MySQL?

If you do not want to the text twice as column heading as well as value, use the following stmt!
SELECT 'some text' as '';Example:
mysql>SELECT 'some text' as ''; +-----------+ | | +-----------+ | some text | +-----------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)

You can print some text by using SELECT command like that:
SELECT 'some text'
Result:
+-----------+
| some text |
+-----------+
| some text |
+-----------+
1 row in set (0.02 sec)

This is an old post, but thanks to this post I have found this:
\! echo 'some text';
Tested with MySQL 8 and working correctly. Cool right? :)

to take output in MySQL you can use if statement SYNTAX:
if(condition,if_true,if_false)
the if_true and if_false can be used to verify and to show output as there is no print statement in the MySQL
