Stored Procedures - Good or Bad?

[Roland Bouman]

Hi dear people from planetmysql,

I understand how busy you are with your professional and personal
life. However I would appreciate it enormously if you could take a few
minutes to complete this survey on database stored procedures:

I will publish the results shortly.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation!

Hi Ronald,

very sorry - I'm processing the responses right this moment.

I closed it for a few reasons. I'm using the free variant of Zoomerang
which allows me to get the details for only 100 individual responses.
I now have 155 and I noticed that the majority was gathered in the
first two-three days after publication. Anyway I was screenscraping
the results (you have to pay to download) and suddenly the service
consistently crapped out on me. So I posted an bug report and as a
matter of courtesy they looked into it to send me all of my data. In
order to get that they needed the survey to be closed, and I decided
that now was as good a time as any as the results will remain
available for 10 days only anyway.

Anyway, I'll be posting results very soon - and I'm planning to write
a real article to answer the survey qustions backed by real results
next week.

kind regards,

Roland

no problem.  Sounds like a great response anyway!

Yeah, I was quite pleased with that - I did not know what to expect,
but apparently the topic is indeed still interesting enough.

Anyway, I'm publishing the results with the complete survey text so
you can still look and comment, in fact, I'd be very grateful if you
do.

Cu, take care!

PS: How was your holiday? did you have a good time? I hope so :)
