Calling a stored procedure says rows returned but won't let me fetch results.

[Jonathan Bastnagel]

Calling a stored procedure shows a positive row count but won't let me fetch results.

Client running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, Python 2.7.3, OurSQL 0.9.3, and libmysqlclient-dev 5.5

Server is an Amazon RDS MySQL instance running MySQL 5.5.12

Create Table:
delimiter $$

CREATE TABLE `test` (
  `idtest` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `data` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`idtest`),
  UNIQUE KEY `idtest_UNIQUE` (`idtest`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=11 DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1$$

Populate this table. I have 189 entries all with random numbers for `data`.

Create Procedure:
delimiter $$

CREATE DEFINER=`db`@`%` PROCEDURE `foo`(
IN a INT
,IN b INT
,IN c INT
)
BEGIN
SELECT SQL_CACHE
`data`
FROM `db`.`test`
ORDER BY a ASC;
END$$

Python Code (test.py):
import oursql

conn = oursql.connect(host='www.example.com', user='foo', passwd='bar', port=3306)
curs = conn.cursor()

curs.execute("CALL db.foo(?, ?, ?)", (1, 2, 3))
print("Row count: " + str(curs.rowcount))
print(curs.nextset())
res = curs.fetchone()
print(res)
curs.close()

Output:
Row count: 189
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test.py", line 8, in <module>
    print(curs.nextset())
  File "cursor.pyx", line 169, in oursql.Cursor.nextset (oursqlx/oursql.c:16436)
  File "cursor.pyx", line 161, in oursql.Cursor._check_statements (oursqlx/oursql.c:16392)
oursql.ProgrammingError: (None, 'no results available', None)

At this point, I've traced this down to 'mysql_stmt_result_metadata(stmt)' returning NULL when a stored procedure is called.

According to some bug reports,
 http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=42490
http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=19008
http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=11918

The relevant section from the manual:
"The multiple statement and result capabilities can be used only with mysql_query() or mysql_real_query(). They cannot be used with the prepared statement interface. Prepared statement handles are defined to work only with strings that contain a single statement. See Section 22.8.4, “C API Prepared Statements”."
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/c-api-multiple-queries.html

So the answer is "you cannot call a stored procedure from mysql_stmt_query() if you want any results" :(

In order to do what you want to do (use CALL) you have to do the escaping manually yourself, and use curs.execute("CALL foo(1,2,3)", plain_query=True)
