SELECT @variable do not work in mysql?

Question

var client = new require("mysql-pool").MySQLPool({...});

client.query( 
   "SET @counter := 0, @type := 'asd'; select @counter, @type"   ,

    function (error, result, fields) {
       if (error) {
           throw error;
       }else{
          cb(result, fields);
       }
    });

( 

query work just fine in workbench or dbForge, and mysql-pool also works, but only without @variable_name )

Answer 1

Maybe like that ?

"SELECT @counter := 0, @type := 'asd'"

But TYPE could be RESERVED name, so consider to use sth. else ie. ENTITY_TYPE
