I was thinking at having some PostgreSQL-specific bits within the clsql
backend. That would apply to MySQL or any other DB that can use stored
procedures to make some queries faster.

I just don't want to be limiting. The only way to go seemed to me to be
to benchmark various uses of stored procedures. On the other hand,
having a cache for read queries, as was discussed earlier, could well
make the stored procedure useless. Or not. Well, we need to measure.

Doubtfully,
Pierre
