Let me clarify.
I'm in great favor of stored procedures in MySQL. It is my HO that all
interaction with the database should take place within stored procedures.
But the ANSI standard is sufficient for most interaction with the database.
My call to arms was to resist the urge that Oracle could not, implementing a
full-blown language within the context of SPs. (Oracle used Java, rumor has
it that MS will implement C#, Java's moronic cousin, in a future release)
Again, IMHO, take it for what it's worth.
