Does MySQL have a Stored Procedure equivalent?

[popeye]

I've only used ASP and MS SQL Server before but I want to learn PHP and
MySQL. Does MySQL have an equivalent of Microsoft's Stored Procedures (i.e.
T-SQL)?

Not yet. Stored procedures will become available in MySQL 5.0 but that's
some way off from release yet as it's still only an Alpha release. Postgres
([url]www.postgresql.org[/url]) does support stored procedures.
