REPEAT Statement

REPEAT Statement : Repeat until : Procedure Function MySQL TUTORIALS

MySQL TUTORIALS » Procedure Function » Repeat until »

To loop over a set of statements until a post-statement condition is met, use the REPEAT statement.


[begin_label:] REPEAT
    statement_list
UNTIL search_condition
END REPEAT [end_label]

The statement list is repeated until the search_condition is true.

A REPEAT always enters the loop at least once.

statement_list consists of one or more statements.

A REPEAT statement can be labeled.

end_label cannot be given unless begin_label also is present.

If both are present, they must be the same.
