I'm working in a project with MySQL and using stored procedures to make my SELECT queries,
so all of them have this same structure:



DELIMITER $$
CREATE PROCEDURE `case_in_where`(IN `column_index` INT, IN `value` VARCHAR(255))
BEGIN

SELECT * FROM `foo`
WHERE
CASE
WHEN `column_index` IS NULL THEN 1
WHEN `column_index` = 1 THEN `foo`.`column_1` = `value`
WHEN `column_index` = 2 THEN `foo`.`column_2` = `value`
END
;
END $$
DELIMITER ;


But I have seen that when people ask for help using this approach, usually the answers are that it should use AND, OR instead or Dynamic SQL. So, this way is not correct? It's a bad practice or have any difference in performance?



I should use AND, OR or Dynamic SQL or make different queries for every case?



Thanks beforehand.
