MySQL doesn't have it, but I believe MS SQL does (and thus Sybase
probably does as well).
I agree with others that variables would be quite handy, especially if
they persist between statements (and they might be even handier if
they persist between transactions).
That's not to say that you don't have better things to work on,
though. :-)
