Interface java.sql.CallableStatement

public interface CallableStatement
extends PreparedStatement

CallableStatement is used to execute SQL stored procedures.

JDBC provides a stored procedure SQL escape that allows stored procedures to be called in a standard way for all RDBMS's. This escape syntax has one form that includes a result parameter and one that does not. If used, the result parameter must be registered as an OUT parameter. The other parameters may be used for input, output or both. Parameters are refered to sequentially, by number. The first parameter is 1.

{?= call [,, ...]}
{call [,, ...]}

IN parameter values are set using the set methods inherited from PreparedStatement. The type of all OUT parameters must be registered prior to executing the stored procedure; their values are retrieved after execution via the get methods provided here.

A Callable statement may return a ResultSet or multiple ResultSets. Multiple ResultSets are handled using operations inherited from Statement.

For maximum portability, a call's ResultSets and update counts should be processed prior to getting the values of output parameters.

 o registerOutParameter(int, int)

Methods

 o registerOutParameter
 public abstract void registerOutParameter(int parameterIndex,
                                           int sqlType) throws SQLException
Before executing a stored procedure call, you must explicitly call registerOutParameter to register the java.sql.Type of each out parameter.

Note: When reading the value of an out parameter, you must use the getXXX method whose Java type XXX corresponds to the parameter's registered SQL type.

Parameters:
parameterIndex - the first parameter is 1, the second is 2,...
sqlType - SQL type code defined by java.sql.Types; for parameters of type Numeric or Decimal use the version of registerOutParameter that accepts a scale value
Throws: SQLException
if a database-access error occurs.

 o registerOutParameter
 public abstract void registerOutParameter(int parameterIndex,
                                           int sqlType,
                                           int scale) throws SQLException
Use this version of registerOutParameter for registering Numeric or Decimal out parameters.

Note: When reading the value of an out parameter, you must use the getXXX method whose Java type XXX corresponds to the parameter's registered SQL type.

Parameters:
parameterIndex - the first parameter is 1, the second is 2, ...
sqlType - use either java.sql.Type.NUMERIC or java.sql.Type.DECIMAL
scale - a value greater than or equal to zero representing the desired number of digits to the right of the decimal point
Throws: SQLException
if a database-access error occurs.

Type
 o wasNull
 public abstract boolean wasNull() throws SQLException
An OUT parameter may have the value of SQL NULL; wasNull reports whether the last value read has this special value.

Note: You must first call getXXX on a parameter to read its value and then call wasNull() to see if the value was SQL NULL.

Returns:
true if the last parameter read was SQL NULL
Throws: SQLException
if a database-access error occurs.
 o getString

 public abstract boolean getBoolean(int parameterIndex) throws SQLException
Get the value of a BIT parameter as a Java boolean.

Parameters:
parameterIndex - the first parameter is 1, the second is 2, ...
Returns:
the parameter value; if the value is SQL NULL, the result is false
Throws: SQLException
if a database-access error occurs.
 o getByte
 public abstract byte getByte(int parameterIndex) throws SQLException
Get the value of a TINYINT parameter as a Java byte.

Parameters:
parameterIndex - the first parameter is 1, the second is 2, ...
