I, for one, read and considered Ben's entire post before replying.
However, since Ben had singled out stored procedures as one of the
"annoyances" that MySQL did not have and in his next paragraph stated
that MySQL had "improved with features", yet had not mentioned stored
procedures, I surmised that he might be uninformed that not only has
MySQL implemented "stored procedures", but that O'Reilly has published
an entire book on the subject:

which I happened to see at OSCON last week.
