Has anyone else had major problems creating stored procedures in MySQL 5.0? I have tried about 12 times to compile a fairly simple procedure with an INSERT, UPDATE and IF statement, and MySQL craps out every time I try to execute it.

It may be because I’m from the “old school” of databases like SQLServer and Oracle, but I expected when MySQL provided support for stored procs that they would, um, work.

As a side, this should tell you how bad I want to get away from MS SQL! Not that I don’t think Microsoft’s SQLServer is a great product, just that MS isn’t doing the independent developer any favors with their licensing.

And don’t bring me SQL Express. That’s not an option for most sites.

I told you it was coming. You just didn’t know it would be this powerful.

Or whatever. I really just wanted to clean up JT.Net a bit. I’ll be posting more about web programming and various tech stuff, but I’ll still pepper the conversation with current events and Carolina Panther cheerleader highlights.

Stay tuned! I know you will.
