Description:
MySQL lack a means of outputing user generate text string natively.

equivalent functionality in Oracle would be "dbms.output"
equivalent functionality in MS SQL Server would be the print keyword.

having this available would make it a lot more straight forward to create user messages and have them interleaved with messages and warnings coming from the RDBMS.  this is invaluable for development and support personel who are writing or executing scripts.

How to repeat:
not applicible

Suggested fix:
add a keyword to the MySQL SQL language that inserts text strings into the session RDBMS output stream.
