Okay, but what kind of isolation do I get in that way?
I mean, may I trust on the fact that they are atomic?
That is: if two different processes execute the same stored procedure
are they "serialized" or not? Or they may "overlap" in some way?
This is the real thing I'm interested in!

Thank you!

Kind regards,
