Interface CallableStatement

All Superinterfaces:
PreparedStatement, Statement

public interface CallableStatement
extends PreparedStatement

The interface used to execute SQL stored procedures. JDBC provides a stored procedure SQL escape syntax that allows stored procedures to be called in a standard way for all RDBMSs. 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 can be used for input, output or both. Parameters are referred to sequentially, by number, with the first parameter being 1.

   {?= call <procedure-name>[<arg1>,<arg2>, ...]}
   {call <procedure-name>[<arg1>,<arg2>, ...]}
 

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 CallableStatement can return one ResultSet or multiple ResultSet objects. Multiple ResultSet objects are handled using operations inherited from Statement.

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

Methods that are new in the JDBC 2.0 API are marked "Since 1.2."

Method Detail

registerOutParameter

public void registerOutParameter(int parameterIndex,
                                 int sqlType)
                          throws SQLException
Registers the OUT parameter in ordinal position parameterIndex to the JDBC type sqlType. All OUT parameters must be registered before a stored procedure is executed.

The JDBC type specified by sqlType for an OUT parameter determines the Java type that must be used in the get method to read the value of that parameter.

If the JDBC type expected to be returned to this output parameter is specific to this particular database, sqlType should be java.sql.Types.OTHER. The method getObject(int) retrieves the value.

Parameters:
parameterIndex - the first parameter is 1, the second is 2, and so on
sqlType - the JDBC type code defined by java.sql.Types. If the parameter is of JDBC type NUMERIC or DECIMAL, the version of registerOutParameter that accepts a scale value should be used.
Throws:
SQLException - if a database access error occurs

Types

registerOutParameter

public void registerOutParameter(int parameterIndex,
                                 int sqlType,

                          throws SQLException
Registers the parameter in ordinal position parameterIndex to be of JDBC type sqlType. This method must be called before a stored procedure is executed.

The JDBC type specified by sqlType for an OUT parameter determines the Java type that must be used in the get method to read the value of that parameter.

This version of registerOutParameter should be used when the parameter is of JDBC type NUMERIC or DECIMAL.

Parameters:
parameterIndex - the first parameter is 1, the second is 2, and so on
sqlType - SQL type code defined by java.sql.Types.
scale - the desired number of digits to the right of the decimal point. It must be greater than or equal to zero.

SQLException - if a database access error occurs

Gets the value of a JDBC TIME parameter as a java.sql.Time object, using the given Calendar object to construct the time. With a Calendar object, the driver can calculate the time taking into account a custom timezone and locale. If no Calendar object is specified, the driver uses the default timezone and locale.

registerOutParameter

public void registerOutParameter(int paramIndex,

                          throws SQLException
Registers the designated output parameter. This version of the method registerOutParameter should be used for a user-named or REF output parameter. Examples of user-named types include: STRUCT, DISTINCT, JAVA_OBJECT, and named array types. Before executing a stored procedure call, you must explicitly call registerOutParameter to register the type from java.sql.Types for each OUT parameter. For a user-named parameter the fully-qualified SQL type name of the parameter should also be given, while a REF parameter requires that the fully-qualified type name of the referenced type be given. A JDBC driver that does not need the type code and type name information may ignore it. To be portable, however, applications should always provide these values for user-named and REF parameters. Although it is intended for user-named and REF parameters, this method may be used to register a parameter of any JDBC type. If the parameter does not have a user-named or REF type, the typeName parameter is ignored.

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 - a value from Types
typeName - the fully-qualified name of an SQL structured type
Throws:
SQLException - if a database access error occurs
Since:
1.2
