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.
