the "func" keyword is used for stored procedures. in the latest trunk, you can also create table-like elements out of funcs to support multi-column stored procedures, and you can create the SQL corresponding to the patterns you describe.
however, these patterns were worked out for Postgres users...MySQL doesnt really support this (i didnt even know it had custom functions at all?). SA is only issuing SQL to the database and cant do anything that you couldnt do at a MySQL command line, for example.
