DO expr
[, expr
] ...
DO
executes the expressions but does not
return any results. In most respects, DO
is
shorthand for SELECT expr
,
...
, but has the advantage that it is slightly faster
when you do not care about the result. However,
DO
does not report any errors. Instead, it
reports errors as warnings.
DO
is useful primarily with functions that
have side effects, such as RELEASE_LOCK()
.
