I had a patch for "transactional" procedures, but this is lost :(

http://okbob.blogspot.com/2007/11/stacked-recordset-multirecordset.html

What I (We) expect:

Very important points:
1. possible explicit transaction controlling - not only subtransactions
2. correct or usual behave of OUT parameters (important for JDBC people)
*** attention: overloading is related to OUT parameters too ***

Not necessary but nice:
3. Support for multirecordset and RETURN_STATUS variable
(RETURN_STATUS is defined by ANSI)
