MySQL 1191: Statement failed due to procedure.

When encountering the MySQL error 1191: "Statement failed due to procedure," follow these immediate actions:

  1. Review the Query and Stored Procedure: Examine the SQL statement and the stored procedure being called for syntax errors or logical issues.



  1. Check Procedure Existence:


SHOW PROCEDURE STATUS WHERE Name = 'yourprocedurename';
Replace `'yourprocedurename'` with the name of the procedure you're trying to execute. This will confirm if the procedure exists in the database.

  1. Review Procedure Definition:


SHOW CREATE PROCEDURE yourprocedurename;
This command shows the definition of the procedure. Check for any issues in the procedure's code.

  1. Examine User Privileges:


SHOW GRANTS FOR CURRENT_USER;
This will show if you have the necessary permissions to execute the stored procedure.

  1. Check for Database Errors or Locks:


- View current process list to identify if there are any locks or long-running queries affecting the procedure:
SHOW FULL PROCESSLIST;
- Check the database server error log for any relevant errors that occurred at the time of the procedure call.

  1. Test Procedure with Simplified Call: If the procedure accepts parameters, try calling it with simplified or minimal parameters to see if it succeeds, helping to isolate the issue.



  1. Optimize Procedure and Tables: If the procedure is running but failing due to performance issues, consider optimizing the procedure's logic or the underlying tables (e.g., adding indexes).



  1. Consult MySQL Documentation: Specific to the version of MySQL you're using, as error codes can have different causes and solutions across versions.



These steps should help in identifying and possibly resolving the error.
