I'm trying to create a sequence replacement in innoDB (since auto_increment behaves differently than in myisam). So i've created a stored function, named seq. I can use it as follows:
INSERT INTO a_table(id) VALUES(seq('seq_a_table'));
My mysqli based database library automatically uses prepared statements, so i get this error:
This command is not supported in the prepared statement protocol yet
MySQL version: 5.1.48 (OSX snow leopard).
UPDATE
Wow, i feel stupid... i was so confused by the error that i missed the simple fact that it wasn't thrown by the statement in question. I was using transactions and forgot that my query function automatically compiles everything as statements, including "START TRANSACTION". So for future late night coders - do not try to start a transaction in a statement :)
