I know that MySQL does not currently support using stored procedures as
a subquery and, as far I understand, this is not planned.
I personally would like this and got used to it in ms sqlserver. For
people interested in the topic here is a thread I found on Jon Haddad's
site Rusty Razor Blade:
http://www.rustyrazorblade.com/index.php/2006/09/27/can-you-use-a-stored-procedure-in-a-subquery-i-dont-think-so-mysql/
Some people advocate using views but since MySQL does not support
parameterized views either it lacks the flexibility I wish.
I have thought of having my stored procs create and populate temp
(possibly memory) tables, perhaps using a naming convention based on the
stored proc name. I could then select from the temp tables contents.
This will probably work but I would be interested in other people's
views and/or experience with this.
Reactions?
Thanks,
Peter Andrews
