Oracle provides a stored procedure called DBMS_OUTPUT which primarily is used to write/print/display text string to StandardOut (a.k.a. the terminal). In V5 MYSQL is there a functional equivalent? If so, what is it called. I am willing to RTFM if somebody provides me a clue as to which manual contains the answer to my question. I have Guy Harrison's "MYSQL Stored Procedures" but could not find what I'm looking for in it. Since I am not sure if what I want exists or what it may be called, I just may be looking in the wrong places for the answer.
TIA!
