Hello-
I am new to Oracle and am trying to call stored procedures migrated over from SQL Server through ADO. I have two questions.

1) How do you call a stored FUNCTION in Oracle from ADO.
2) How do I handle stored Procedures of Functions that return multiple recordsets.

Thanks,

Eric Workman

Has anyone replied to this. I can get procedures to work no problem but functions do not appear to work at all.

1) You call it the same as a Procedure with one difference. The first Parameter needs to have a direction of adParamReturnValue. Make sure its the correct type for the data type returned by your function. Say your calling
---------------------------------
Function get(primary_key integer) return varchar2
is
Begin
return "data-data-data-data";
end get;
-----------------------------------
Define your two parameters using the parameter
create and append metods of the command object. Like the partial code below.
-----------------------------------------------
parameter name, datatype,direction, size, value
----------------------------------------------
"", adVarChar, adParamReturnValue, 32000, ""

"primary_key",adInteger,adParamInput,4,2

Note: I haven't successfully returned an array or a recordset to date this way. Just varchars,
integers etc.

2) I don't use this myself but you can get recordsets by using the microsoft oracle driver.

Say you have an Oracle function oraf(p_num in number) that returns a double. In C#, if "cnn" is your ADODB connection to Oracle, the code is:

OleDBCommand cmd = cnn.CreateCommand();
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
cmd.CommandText = "oraf";
OleDBParameter pm = new OleDBParameter("retvalue", System.Data.OleDb.OleDbType.Double);
cmd.Parameters.Add(pm);
OleDBParameter pm = new OleDBParameter("p_num", System.Data.OleDb.OleDbType.Integer);
cmd.Parameters.Add(pm);
cmd.Parameters[["p_num"]].Value = 123;
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
double result =
(double) cmd.Parameters[["retvalue"]].Value;
-------------
The return value *must* be the first parameter in the command.
