存储函数中的临时表？

Question

我正在写一个函数，我需要使用TABLE变量（I hear they don't exist in MySQL）或临时表。

但是，似乎临时表似乎只适用于存储过程，而不是函数。我不断收到此错误：

Explicit or implicit commit is not allowed in stored function or trigger.

我试图建立是an earlier question of mine的解决方案。它是一个接收开始日期，结束日期和逗号分隔字符串的函数。它首先查找开始和结束日期之间的所有月份，并将它们作为单独记录保存在第一个临时表中。然后解析出逗号分隔的字符串并将其保存到第二个临时表中。然后它在两者上进行选择连接，如果存在记录，则返回true，否则返回false。

我的意图是将其用作另一个查询WHERE子句的一部分，因此它需要是一个函数而不是存储过程。

如何在存储函数中使用临时表？如果我不能，我能做些什么呢？

这里是我的（目前破碎）函数（或作为gist）：

-- need to parse out a string like '4,2,1' and insert values into temporary table 
-- MySQL doesn't have a native string split function, so we make our own 
-- taken from: http://blog.fedecarg.com/2009/02/22/mysql-split-string-function/ 
DROP FUNCTION IF EXISTS SPLIT_STR; 
CREATE FUNCTION SPLIT_STR(x VARCHAR(255), delim VARCHAR(12), pos INT) RETURNS VARCHAR(255) 
RETURN REPLACE(SUBSTRING(SUBSTRING_INDEX(x, delim, pos), LENGTH(SUBSTRING_INDEX(x, delim, pos -1)) + 1), delim, ''); 

-- need to find all months between the start and end date and insert each into a temporary table 
DROP FUNCTION IF EXISTS months_within_range; 

DELIMITER // 

CREATE FUNCTION months_within_range(starts_at DATE, ends_at DATE, filter_range VARCHAR(255)) RETURNS TINYINT 
BEGIN 

    DROP TABLE IF EXISTS months_between_dates; 
    DROP TABLE IF EXISTS filter_months; 
    CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE months_between_dates (month_stuff VARCHAR(7)); 
    CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE filter_months (filter_month VARCHAR(7)); 

    SET @month_count = (SELECT PERIOD_DIFF(DATE_FORMAT(ends_at, "%Y%m"), DATE_FORMAT(starts_at, "%Y%m"))); 
    -- PERIOD_DIFF only gives us the one month, but we want to compare to, so add one 
    -- as in, the range between 2011-01-31 and 2011-12-01 should be 12, not 11 

    INSERT INTO months_between_dates (month_stuff) VALUES (DATE_FORMAT(starts_at, "%Y-%m")); 
    SET @month_count = @month_count + 1; 
    -- start he counter at 1, since we've already included the first month above 
    SET @counter = 1; 
    WHILE @counter < @month_count DO 
     INSERT INTO months_between_dates (month_stuff) VALUES (DATE_FORMAT(starts_at + INTERVAL @counter MONTH, "%Y-%m")); 
     SET @counter = @counter + 1; 
    END WHILE; 

    -- break up the filtered string 
    SET @counter = 1; 
    -- an infinite loop, since we don't know how many parameters are in the filtered string 
    filters: LOOP 
     SET @filter_month = SPLIT_STR(filter_range, ',', @counter); 
     IF @filter_month = '' THEN LEAVE filters; 
     ELSE 
      INSERT INTO filter_months (filter_month) VALUES (@filter_month); 
      SET @counter = @counter + 1; 
     END IF; 
    END LOOP; 

    SELECT COUNT(*) INTO @matches FROM months_between_dates INNER JOIN filter_months ON months_between_dates.month_stuff = filter_months.filter_month; 

    IF @matches >= 1 THEN RETURN 1; 
    ELSE RETURN 0; 

END// 

DELIMITER ;

DROP TABLE语句将导致一个隐含的承诺，这是不是在MySQL功能允许的。删除临时表不会导致提交。如果你不担心常规（非临时）表命名months_between_dates或现有filter_months你应该能够改变

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS months_between_dates; 
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS filter_months; 

到

DROP TEMPORARY TABLE IF EXISTS months_between_dates; 
DROP TEMPORARY TABLE IF EXISTS filter_months;
