Thank you, I tried this: db.executesql("""set @num := 0, @type := ''; select type, variety, price from ( select type, variety, price, @num := if(@type = type, @num + 1, 1) as row_number, @type := type as dummy from fruits order by type, price ) as x where x.row_number <= 2;""")But it returns a null.

I do that all the time. No need for the \ at each line break then either. You can declare and set your @variables all within one executesql query too.

What am I doing wrong? They don't work, even if I put the variable initialization in the same call.
