How It Affects Your App
MySQL 1338 ER_SP_CURSOR_AFTER_HANDLER is an error that occurs when a cursor is declared after a handler in a stored procedure. This error can prevent the application from executing the stored procedure correctly, resulting in unexpected behavior. It can also lead to data integrity issues, as the stored procedure may not be able to access the data it needs to complete its tasks. This can cause the application to crash or produce incorrect results.
