procedures (Database Toolbox)

Get catalog's stored procedures

Syntax

p = procedures(dbmeta, 'cata')
p = procedures(dbmeta, 'cata', 'sch')

Description

p = procedures(dbmeta, 'cata') returns the stored procedures in the catalog cata, for the database whose database metadata object is dbmeta, which was created using dmd.

p = procedures(dbmeta, 'cata', 'sch') returns the stored procedures in the schema sch, of the catalog cata, for the database whose database metadata object is dbmeta, which was created using dmd.

Stored procedures are SQL statements that are saved with the database. You can use the exec function to run a stored procedure, providing the stored procedure as the sqlquery argument instead of actually entering the sqlquery statement as the argument.

Examples

Type

```
p = procedures(dbmeta,'DBA')
```

where dbmeta is the database metadata object and the catalog is DBA. MATLAB returns the names of the stored procedures

p = 
    'sp_contacts'
    'sp_customer_list'
    'sp_customer_products'
    'sp_product_info'
    'sp_retrieve_contacts'
    'sp_sales_order'

Execute the stored procedure sp_customer_list for the database connection conn and fetch all of the data. Type

curs = exec(conn,'sp_customer_list');
curs = fetch(conn)

MATLAB returns

curs =
         Attributes:[]
              Data:{10x2 cell}
    DatabaseObject:[1x1 database]
          RowLimit:0
          SQLQuery:'sp_customer_list'
           Message:[]
              Type:'Database Cursor Object'
         ResultSet:[1x1 sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcResultSet]
            Cursor:[1x1 com.mathworks.toolbox.database.sqlExec]
         Statement:[1x1 sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcStatement]
            Fetch:[1x1
                     com.mathworks.toolbox.database.fetchTheData]

View the results by typing

```
curs.Data
```

MATLAB returns

ans = 
    [101]    'The Power Group'    
    [102]    'AMF Corp.'          
    [103]    'Darling Associates' 
    [104]    'P.S.C.'             
    [105]    'Amo & Sons'         
    [106]    'Ralston Inc.'       
    [107]    'The Home Club'      
    [108]    'Raleigh Co.'        
    [109]    'Newton Ent.'        
    [110]    'The Pep Squad'
