What's happening here is that you can only use prepared statements for
certain operations. You can't for example prepare a CREATE TABLE
statement. The driver examines the query to see if it is valid for
preparing and I believe the problem here is that with a callable statement
it is examinging the query with "call" before it is transformed to a
SELECT, so it doesn't recognize it as a preparable. This looks like a bug
to me.
