It's an oracle extension for performing procedure processing against oracle databases.

Totally proprietary ... it's been around for a very long time in oracle.

Microsoft has TSQL which provides some of the "similar type" processing capabilities.

Dunno about MySQL specifically but there is certainly pressure on all the open source databases to provide some kind of procedure capabilities inside the database. Received on Mon Feb 19 2007 - 05:52:00 CST
