REPEAT LOOP

Syntax

[begin_label:] REPEAT
    statement_list
UNTIL search_condition
END REPEAT [end_label]

The statement list within a REPEAT statement is repeated until the search_condition is true. Thus, a REPEAT always enters the loop at least once. statement_list consists of one or more statements, each terminated by a semicolon (i.e., ;) statement delimiter.

A REPEAT statement can be labeled. end_label cannot be given unless begin_label also is present. If both are present, they must be the same.

See Delimiters in the mysql client for more on client delimiter usage.
