How to use local variables in MySQL stored procedures?

Local variables are variables declared in a stored procedure. They are only valid within the BEGIN…END block in which they are declared, and can have any SQL data type. To demonstrate it we are creating the following process -

mysql> DELIMITER // ;
mysql> Create Procedure Proc_Localvariables()
   -> BEGIN
   -> DECLARE X INT DEFAULT 100;
   -> DECLARE Y INT;
   -> DECLARE Z INT;
   -> DECLARE A INT;
   -> SET Y = 250;
   -> SET Z = 200;
   -> SET A = X+Y+Z;
   -> SELECT X,Y,Z,A;
   -> END //
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> Delimiter ; //
mysql> CALL Proc_Localvariables();
+------+------+------+------+
| X    | Y    | Z    | A    |
+------+------+------+------+
| 100  | 250  | 200  | 550  |
+------+------+------+------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)
