7.3.3 Using a PreparedStatement for a Stored Procedure That Returns a Result Set

This example shows how to handle result sets produced by a stored procedure.

  1. Make a copy of the tutorial framework code:

    shell> cp framework.cpp ps_scenario3.cpp
    
  2. Add the following code to the try block of the tutorial framework:

    sql::Driver * driver = get_driver_instance();
    
    std::auto_ptr< sql::Connection > con(driver->connect(url, user, pass));
    con->setSchema(database);
    
    std::auto_ptr< sql::PreparedStatement >  pstmt;
    std::auto_ptr< sql::ResultSet > res;
    
    pstmt.reset(con->prepareStatement("CALL get_data()"));
    res.reset(pstmt->executeQuery());
    
    for(;;)
    {
      while (res->next()) {
        cout << "Name: " << res->getString("Name")
             << " Population: " << res->getInt("Population")
             << endl;
      }
      if (pstmt->getMoreResults())
      {
        res.reset(pstmt->getResultSet());
        continue;
      }
      break;
    }
    
    
  3. Compile the program as described in Section 7.1, “Prerequisites and Background Information”.

  4. Run the program:

    shell> ./ps_scenario3
    
  5. Make a note of the output generated.

The code executes the stored procedure using a PreparedStatement object. The standard do/while construct is used to ensure that all result sets are fetched. The returned values are fetched from the result sets using the getInt and getString methods.
