MySql stored procedures: How to select from procedure table?

Question

Let\'s say we have a stored procedure selecting something from a table:

CREATE PROCEDURE database.getExamples() 
SELECT * FROM examples;

How can I use

Answer 1

In SQL server you can then do SELECT * FROM database.getExamples()

If you want to re-use the 'procedure' then, yes, I would put it into a table valued function.

Otherwise you could just SELECT INTO a #temporary table inside the stored procedure.
