The following changelog shows what has already been done in the 5.0 tree:
Basic support for stored procedures (SQL:2003 style). See Chapitre 19, Procédures stockées et fonctions.
          Added SELECT INTO list_of_vars, which can
          be of mixed, that is, global and local type. See
          Section 19.2.9.3, « Syntaxe de SELECT ... INTO ».
        
          Removed the update log. It is fully replaced by the binary
          log. If the MySQL server is started with
          --log-update, it will be translated to
          --log-bin (or ignored if the server is
          explicitly started with --log-bin), and a
          warning message will be written to the error log. Setting
          SQL_LOG_UPDATE will silently set
          SQL_LOG_BIN instead (or do nothing if the
          server is explicitly started with --log-bin).
        
          User variable names are now case insensitive: if you do
          SET @a=10; then SELECT
          @A; will now return 10. Case
          sensitivity of a variable's value depends on the collation of
          the value.
