[SOLVED] Component to call a Stored Procedure ( Firebird )
« on: September 20, 2011, 10:13:07 pm »
I need to call a Stored Procedure into a Firebird Database.
Please suggest me about a Lazarus component.

AFAIk you can use TSQLQuery and set:
 SQLQuery1.SQL.Text:='execute procedure xxx'
 SQLQuery1.ExecSQL;

It depends if your procedure is selectable (returns result set) or not.

I use a Stored Procedure because I need a return result.
The Stored Procedure calls a Generator to get a value for field named ID - primary key for the Table.
I need to know the value of ID immediately after inserting a new record.
Is it possible that ?

UIB and ZeosLib is what you want.

ZeosLib does not support Oracle stored procedure.

In that case, try treating the stored procedure as a regular query, e.g. (of the top of my head) SELECT resultvar FROM storedproc;
i.e. don't use .execsql but .open...

A stored procedure that returns a result is actually called a User Defined Function (UDF).

As far as I remember you must use the UDF where you otherwise would use a field name, so if the UDF is called "GetID":

Code: [Select]
SELECT getID() FROM table

Mind you ... I haven't checked any specific Firebird peculiarities.  This is based on what I know from DB2.

zeosLib has TZStoredProc component, I think that's what you need.

Hmmm, no in Firebird that's not the right terminology: a UDF in Firebird is external code compiled to a library (dll/so) that indeed returns a result. Invocation is the same as you indicated.

In Firebird, a stored procedure can IIRC either return a result set, a scalar (one single value) or nothing at all.
In the last case, use execute. In the former two cases, IIRC in SQLDB you can treat it as a regular query, i.e.
Code: [Select]
SELECT resultvar FROM storedprocname
@tatamata: does the Zeosdb TZStoredProcedure provide functionality for return values as well?

Thank you very much !
I have success using a regular TSQLQuery with 'SELECT resultvar FROM storedproc'
Thats because I am using SQLdb components ....
It is possible to be a working solution using TZStoredProc with Zeos Access components, but I did not test this way ..
