If the features available in stored procedures {i.e. looping etc.} are
required, have you tried having the procedure 1st write/edit the data in a
temporary table and at the end select the values you want from that table.
I think I might write 2 procedures. One that does the data manipulation and
the other that selects the result.
something like this
DELIMITER //
DROP PROCEDURE IF EXITS manipulate//
CREATE PROCEDURE manipulate(
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE data_result
...
...
END//
DROP PROCEDURE IF EXITS result//
CREATE PROCEDURE result(
...
CALL manipulate (
...
SELECT ... FROM data_result
END//
DELIMITER ;
