For a stored procedure, I want to do a SELECT, and store a column's value into a variable.

How do I do this?

I want to do something like this:

    DECLARE countTemp INT;
    SET countTemp=(SELECT COUNT(Name) FROM mytable WHERE Name= var_name LIMIT 0,1);

OR, like this :

    DECLARE countTemp INT;
    SELECT countTemp=ColumnXYZ FROM mytable WHERE Name= var_name LIMIT 0,1;

But, I tried these and MySQL says my syntax is incorrect; how do I do something like this?

A: 

Like this :

DECLARE myvar nvarchar(50);

SELECT ATextColumn INTO myvar FROM myTable LIMIT 1,1;

SELECT CONCAT('myvar is ',myvar ,' .');
