Well, that's not entirely true: Although MySQL is very fast with simple select 
statements, this is not the case with very complicated queries with multiple 
table joins etc.

"Not encourage" is here equal to "does not support".

Stored procedures have it's place in the database world. Yes, they do have 
their drawbacks and it should be carefully considered when to use them. But 
this does not mean that their usage always lead to a bad design.
