-The function ''prepareSP()'' accesses an existing stored procedure on a SQL server database. If the stored procedure is valid the function return a resource otherwise it returns false.
+The function ''prepareSP()'' accesses an existing stored procedure. If the stored procedure is valid the function return a resource otherwise it returns false.
+===== PrepareSp Correct Usage =====
+''prepareSp'' should only be used with database drivers that support direct access to the procedures. It should not be passed an SQL statement that might access the procedure so, assuming a stored procedure ''PROC_LIST'' exists,
+the statement:
+  $db->prepareSp('PROC_LIST')
+is correct, however
+   $db->prepareSp('CALL PROC_LIST')
+is not.
