Thank you for the definite answer, Pavel :)

I came across a blog post of yours (
http://okbob.blogspot.com/2007/11/stacked-recordset-multirecordset.html
) as well as several list posts indicating that multiple result sets
might be in the working. Should I check the situation again when 8.4 is
released?

Cursors, unfortunately, look cumbersome in this situation and will break
the existing API (all transactions encapsulated within SPs, clients
allowed to do CALL only). Anyway, thanks everyone for the cursors tip :)
