More information

This example executes a stored procedure called SP_MYPROC. It is assumed that you have a valid ODBC datasource configured for the Oracle server. This example assumes that you have created a valid datasource called "ORADSN." This article does not cover the steps necessary to create a valid datasource. This article shows the proper syntax necessary to call a stored procedure called "SP_MYPROC," which has no parameters, using Visual FoxPro. For information on creating stored procedures in Oracle see your Oracle documentation: 
*************************************
** Description of variables used  **
* h = handle
* ORADSN = datasource name
* USERID   = user id
* PWD        = password
**************************************

   h=SQLConnect("ORADSN","USERID","PWD")   && Establish a connection

   IF h > 0

      WAIT WINDOW "Connection Successful" NOWAIT
      =SQLExec(h,"{Call SP_MYPROC}")       && Execute the stored procedure
      =SQLDisconnect(h)                    && Terminate the connection

   ELSE

      WAIT WINDOW "Connection Failed"

   ENDIF
NOTE: The 32-bit Visigenic Oracle ODBC driver that ships with Visual FoxPro 3.0b and many other 32-bit Microsoft products does not support the execution of stored procedures.

NOTE: As of Dec-09-1998, Visigenic was acquired by INPRISE, Inc.
