When you use database stored procedures in a PowerBuilder application, keep the following points in mind:
-
Manipulating stored procedures
To manipulate database stored procedures, PowerBuilder provides SQL statements that are similar to cursor statements.
-
Retrieval and update
PowerBuilder supports retrieval, update, or a combination of retrieval and update in database stored procedures, including procedures that return no results sets and those that return one or more result sets.
-
Transactions and stored procedures with result sets
When a procedure executes successfully using a specific connection (transaction) and returns at least one result set, no other SQL commands can be executed using that connection until the procedure has been closed.
-
Transactions and stored procedures without result sets
When a procedure executes successfully using a specific transaction but does not return a result set, the procedure is no longer active. No result sets are pending, and therefore a CLOSE statement is not required.
