1) +1 for "ability to prepare a statement from a local variable" what I requested 6½ years ago: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=40038

2) I agree that no debugging facility is a serious limitation (though Oracle claim that their "MySQL for Visual Studio" can do it (with Visual Studio on Windows obviously). I have not tried).

3) another (supplementary) language for stored programs. This has been discussed before in severalcontexts. Problem is that there is no 'fit' language being cross-platform. PostgreSQl has Perl, SQL Server as C#. The current 'sp language' (for loops, conditions etc.) is based on ADA. 'Adascript' implementations (covering around 60% of full ADA, I think) exist and could be considered. Or LUA that looks somewhat similar. But the interpreter will need to ship with the server.

Just my 5 cents on this!

Hi Sergej

No, it was something more general. Performance is not sufficient, there is no debugging facility, and stored programs are not flexible enough. Arrays, variable number of arguments and the ability to prepare a statement from a local variable would help a lot. Or perhaps, the ability to use a language other than SQL would be a solution.

I used the OR REPLACE clause to point out that both MariaDB and MySQL development is very slow (if any) when it comes to stored programs. As a user and a MariaDB lover, I think that this is a pity.

Support for events
is already pushed (albeit after 10.1.3).
Support for triggers will be pushed any day now
(already reviewed and
approved, so
there's no more work left on it). I suppose that
stored
procedures and functions will follow
soon.

This was a GSoC 2014
project that added support for these clauses to
*all* objects. It's just being pushed
piecewise, object by object.

I
don't understand what exactly missing feature that user
had in mind.
It couldn't have been
"CREATE OR REPLACE", this seems so minor.
Or was it?
