title: Accept Multiple Data Types in Stored Procedure
body: <p>I'll avoid any explanations and just get to the question. Is there a way to accept multiple data types for one parameter of a MySQL stored procedure?</p>
  
  <p>I want to be able to accept both int and varchar-typed data for an IN parameter of the procedure. Is this possible?</p>
  
  <p>I know this is not good practice (I'd never choose to do it myself) but some other developers are asking for me to support it for easy access.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,
  Braeden</p>
