return result set in SPs

[Chagh]

hi all,
how can we have a select satement in an SP?(i want to return a result
set from the SP). i want to migrate from SQL Server to MySQL and i
don’t know what to do with these SPs.
it can be done in MySQL client, but it gives the error:"procedure foo
can’t return a result set in the given context MySQL"
in the application.
can i set a cursor out put parameter and return it?(just like Oracle)
or it has another solution?

and another question: is MyODBC 3.51 tested with MySQL 5.x? can we
call an SP from Delphi via MyODBC? (i tried to do so (using ADO an a
data provider for OLEDB) but i think somewhere in passing the call
statement it had put {} around "call sp()" statement so that mysql
returned an error about the syntax.)

Thanks in advane
Chagh
