IF statement in MySQL stored procedures

If statement allows you to execute a set of SQL statements based on condition. If certain condition returns true then statement executes, otherwise not.

Example:

DELIMITER $$
CREATE PROCEDURE MyifCond()
BEGIN
DECLARE x  INT;
SET x = 1;
SET y = 1;
WHILE x  <= 10 DO
SET  x = x + 1;
IF x > 5 THEN
SET  y = y + 1;
END IF;
END WHILE;
SELECT y;
END$$
DELIMITER;
