Chapter 12. Using MySQL Stored Programs in Applications
In the next few chapters we are going to show you how to use stored programs in a variety of external programming environments—PHP , Java , Perl , Python , and .NET . In those chapters we’ll describe how to use the MySQL drivers provided with these languages to execute stored programs, retrieve the output of stored programs, and handle any error conditions that may arise during execution. Before we delve into those specific environments, we’ll start with a general discussion of using MySQL stored programs in applications .
The purpose of this preliminary chapter is twofold:
To present the overall benefits of using stored programs in your applications.
To outline the general principles and program flow considerations that apply when using stored programs from any programming environment. Chapters 13 through 17 will describe the details for specific programming environments.
