将数组传递给MySQL存储的例程

I need to pass an array of strings as parameter to a MySQL stored routine. The array could be long and its number of elements is not fixed. I then want to put the string values into an in-memory table with one column, so I can work with the data. I don't know if this can be done in MySQL. Maybe dirty workarounds are needed.I need to pass an array of strings as parameter
