I see that IF EXISTS, IF NOT EXISTS and OR REPLACE are now almost consistent. "Almost" means
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.

stored procedures, functions, triggers, events.
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.
Recently, during a public session, a PostgreSQL user asked me if MariaDB supports stored procedures - in his opinion, MySQL doesn't, no matter what the manual says. Unfortunately my answer was that MariaDB support for stored procedure is the same as MySQL ("so the answer is
no", he said). 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? Regards, Sergei
