根据mysql手册，mysql的变量分为两种：系统变量和用户变量。但是在实际使用中，还会遇到诸如局部变量、会话变量等概念。根据个人感觉，mysql变量大体可以分为四种类型：
一、局部变量。
局部变量一般用在sql语句块中，比如存储过程的begin/end。其作用域仅限于该语句块，在该语句块执行完毕后，局部变量就消失了。
局部变量一般用declare来声明，可以使用default来说明默认值。
例如在存储过程中定义局部变量：
drop procedure if exists add;
create procedure add
(
in a int,
in b int
)
begin
declare c int default 0;
set c = a + b;
select c as c;
end;
在上述存储过程中定义的变量c就是局部变量
二、用户变量。
用户变量的作用域要比局部变量要广。用户变量可以作用于当前整个连接，但是当当前连接断开后，其所定义的用户变量都会消失。
用户变量使用如下(这里我们无须使用declare关键字进行定义，可以直接这样使用):
select @变量名
对用户变量赋值有两种方式，一种是直接用"="号，另一种是用":="号。其区别在于使用set命令对用户变量进行赋值时，两种方式都可以使用；当使用select语句对用户变量进行赋值时，只能使用":="方式，因为在select语句中，"="号被看作是比较操作符。
示例程序如下：
drop procedure if exists math;
create procedure math
(
in a int,
in b int
)
begin
set @var1 = 1;
set @var2 = 2;
select @sum:=(a + b) as sum, @dif:=(a - b) as dif;
end;
mysql> call math(3, 4);
+------+------+
| sum | dif |
+------+------+
| 7 | -1 |
+------+------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> select @var1; //var1为用户变量
+-------+
| @var1 |
+-------+
| 1 |
+-------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> select @var2; //var2为用户变量
+-------+
| @var2 |
+-------+
| 2 |
+-------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
3、会话变量
服务器为每个连接的客户端维护一系列会话变量。在客户端连接时，使用相应全局变量的当前值对客户端的会话变量进行初始化。设置会话变量不需要特殊权限，但客户端只能更改自己的会话变量，而不能更改其它客户端的会话变量。会话变量的作用域与用户变量一样，仅限于当前连接。当当前连接断开后，其设置的所有会话变量均失效。
设置会话变量有如下三种方式：
set session var_name = value;
set @@session.var_name = value;
set var_name = value;
查看一个会话变量也有如下三种方式：
select @@var_name;
select @@session.var_name;
show session variables like "%var%";
mysql> show session variables;

4、全局变量
全局变量影响服务器整体操作。当服务器启动时，它将所有全局变量初始化为默认值。这些默认值可以在选项文件中或在命令行中指定的选项进行更改。要想更改全局变量，必须具有SUPER权限。全局变量作用于server的整个生命周期，但是不能跨重启。即重启后所有设置的全局变量均失效。要想让全局变量重启后继续生效，需要更改相应的配置文件。
要设置一个全局变量，有如下两种方式：
set global var_name = value; //注意：此处的global不能省略。根据手册，set命令设置变量时若不指定GLOBAL、SESSION或者LOCAL，默认使用SESSION
set @@global.var_name = value; //同上
要想查看一个全局变量，有如下两种方式：
select @@global.var_name;
show global variables like "%var%";
mysql> show global variables;
