On a slightly different topic, I noticed yesterday that DBD::mysql
still doesn't have support for multiple statements (and result sets).
There's a patch out there that I applied and that seems to work, but
having also been using DBD::Sybase's multiple return set technique
extensively, I wonder if we shouldn't bake into DBI a framework for
returning multiple result sets.
Right now, the mysql patch that I talked about expects you to know
how many result sets are coming back, and do "while fetchrow..." on
them (or wrap that and trap an error), while DBD::Sybase expects code
like:
do {
while($d = $sth->fetch) {
... do something with the data
}
} while($sth->{syb_more_results});
Would there be a good reason not to request a certain standard
behavior from the multiple DBDs out there that support multiple
statements/result sets?

Henri,
Please see the latest 3.0006_1 branch via SVN (which will be released to
CPAN tonight). It has support for multiple result sets, and even now
includes examples of how to use them.
Kind regards,
Patrick
