Why is my SQL procedure returning the entire table?

Question

DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS STUDENTS_BY_STATUS;

DELIMITER //

CREATE PROCEDURE STUDENTS_BY_STATUS(status VARCHAR(10))

BEGIN

    SELECT BannerId, Name FROM STUDENT WHERE Status=status;

END //

DELIMITER ;

CALL STUDENTS_BY_STATUS("Freshman");

My Table (STUDENT)

My Result

Answer 1

Call your parameter with some other name as you have column named status in your table.

I usually follow the convention of p_ prefix for parameters and v_ for local variables.

CREATE PROCEDURE STUDENTS_BY_STATUS(p_status VARCHAR(10))
BEGIN    
    SELECT BannerId, Name FROM STUDENT WHERE Status = p_status;
END //
