Ed,
Stored procedures allow you to pre-compile and re-use code easily. They also
make transactions easier. (At least from one point of view) It's not like
the XML argument. SPs are also part of the ANSI spec so to be compliant,
MySQL will have to have them. XML is not part of the ANSI-SQL spec.
IMHO,
Cal

trying to figure out your reasoning here, besides the same argument used by
the XML crowd of "it's the latest/greatest do-all-be-all-end-all, so
everyone should be using it" type of nonsense.
