Hi, PL/SQL is an Oracle proprietary language and can not be used. I know that the good people at MySQL are planning to add a language to MySQL but I do not think that there is a target release for this. Views, Functions and Procedures are also on the list of things to add to MySQL but I do not think that there is a timeline for these things.
Adding anything to the execution path of an application, a database application for example, will naturally make it slower. That said, the people at MySQL have been very good at maintaining and in some cases improving the performance of the database so I would not worry about new features slowing the database. Hopefully someone from MySQL can also respond and give more information than I have. -----Original Message----- From: hemanth [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, April 01, 2003 12:40 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: PL/SQL, Views, Functions, Proceedures Hi, Why MySQL does not support PL/SQL, Views, Functions, Procedures, Sub queries.
