Hi, I've been able to successfully return a result set from a MySQL stored procedure using Perl DBI 1.56 and DBD for MYSQL version 3.0008 but only after adding the patch posted at https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=12322 This patch allows passing of mysql_multi_statements parameter to the DBI . Patch was for an older version but I guess the code never made it into 3.0008 All good except that any sql statement following the call to the stored procedure results in the "Commands out of sync" error. I've tried most suggestions posted under this subject but to no avail The test program with the patch itself also fails with this same error. Anyone managed to get this to work ?
