As far as I can tell, this is part of Postgresql's proprietary stored
procedure language. I'm not a Postgresql user, so on first glance at
docs the closest match I can come up with is the CALL statement in MySQL
5.0 stored procedure language.

Why don't you describe what you're trying to do and perhaps someone can
offer advice on how best to do it with MySQL?

i have several statements inside a procedure and want to return the
ROW_COUNT() of the first statment. so in postgresql i can do a perform
for all statements except the first.

this can be easily solved by storing the value into a variable. having a
Perform statement looks neater, though. :)
