Hi John and Sinisa,
I don't know if this helps but we are using php scripts in place of
"stored procedures". Our client/server apps open up an https or http
connection to a php server and pass in the script name and variables
in the URL (like cgi). It's not "stored procedures", but is pretty
fast if apache/php is on the same server or a fast ethernet cable away
and using https can be very secure as well. We currently use it to
get around things like multiple sql commands in one request and table
to table updates as it allows the client to execute an "SQL" procedure
remotely.
Hope this helps someone!
Ken
