This is very similar to question 653714, but for MySQL instead of SQL Server.
Basically, I have a complicated select that is the basis for several stored procedures.

MySQL calls stored procedures via CALL StoredProcedureName(); And you cannot direct that output to anything, as they don't return anything (unlike a function).
