Hi Sergej

No, it was something more general. Performance is not sufficient, there is no debugging facility, and stored programs are not flexible enough. Arrays, variable number of arguments and the ability to prepare a statement from a local variable would help a lot. Or perhaps, the ability to use a language other than SQL would be a solution.

I used the OR REPLACE clause to point out that both MariaDB and MySQL development is very slow (if any) when it comes to stored programs. As a user and a MariaDB lover, I think that this is a pity.

Regards
Federico

 Support for events
 is already pushed (albeit after 10.1.3).
 Support for triggers will be pushed any day now
 (already reviewed and
 approved, so
 there's no more work left on it). I suppose that
 stored
 procedures and functions will follow
 soon.
 
 This was a GSoC 2014
 project that added support for these clauses to
 *all* objects. It's just being pushed
 piecewise, object by object.

 I
 don't understand what exactly missing feature that user
 had in mind.
 It couldn't have been
 "CREATE OR REPLACE", this seems so minor.
 Or was it?
