hi vivien, hi rodrigo,

am i right? - there're two possible ways to get the parameters for
a procedure

a) one schema returning a list of procedures and a constraint like
PARAMS to get the list of params

b) one schema returning a list of procedres including the parameters

IMHO it is no good idea to give a resultset with various counts of
colums ( implied by using b ) or to code one column to put all params
into one value ( has to be parsed by the client ).

why do we don't keep the design like it is (easy to use) and take
choice a ?

just my two cents
