    SET modTemp = count % 3;
    SELECT CONCAT('modTemp = ', modTemp);

    CASE modTemp
        WHEN 1 THEN
            SELECT 1;
        WHEN 2 THEN
            SELECT 2;
        WHEN 0 THEN
            SELECT 3;
        ELSE
            SELECT CONCAT('Error: modTemp = ', modTemp);
    END CASE;

    SET count = count + 1;
END WHILE;

END//
