SQLProcedures Function
Conformance
Version Introduced: ODBC 1.0 Standards Compliance: ODBC
Summary
SQLProcedures returns the list of procedure names stored in a specific data source. Procedure is a generic term used to describe an executable object, or a named entity that can be invoked using input and output parameters. For more information on procedures, see the Procedures.
Syntax
SQLRETURN SQLProcedures(
SQLHSTMT StatementHandle,
SQLCHAR * CatalogName,
SQLSMALLINT NameLength1,
SQLCHAR * SchemaName,
SQLSMALLINT NameLength2,
SQLCHAR * ProcName,
SQLSMALLINT NameLength3);
Arguments
StatementHandle
[Input] Statement handle.
CatalogName
[Input] Procedure catalog. If a driver supports catalogs for some tables but not for others, such as when the driver retrieves data from different DBMSs, an empty string ("") denotes those tables that do not have catalogs. CatalogName cannot contain a string search pattern.
If the SQL_ATTR_METADATA_ID statement attribute is set to SQL_TRUE, CatalogName is treated as an identifier and its case is not significant. If it is SQL_FALSE, CatalogName is an ordinary argument; it is treated literally, and its case is significant. For more information, see Arguments in Catalog Functions.
NameLength1
[Input] Length in characters of *CatalogName.
SchemaName
[Input] String search pattern for procedure schema names. If a driver supports schemas for some procedures but not for others, such as when the driver retrieves data from different DBMSs, an empty string ("") denotes those procedures that do not have schemas.
If the SQL_ATTR_METADATA_ID statement attribute is set to SQL_TRUE, SchemaName is treated as an identifier and its case is not significant. If it is SQL_FALSE, SchemaName is a pattern value argument; it is treated literally, and its case is significant.
NameLength2
[Input] Length in characters of *SchemaName.
ProcName
[Input] String search pattern for procedure names.
If the SQL_ATTR_METADATA_ID statement attribute is set to SQL_TRUE, ProcName is treated as an identifier and its case is not significant. If it is SQL_FALSE, ProcName is a pattern value argument; it is treated literally, and its case is significant.
NameLength3
[Input] Length in characters of *ProcName.
Returns
SQL_SUCCESS, SQL_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO, SQL_STILL_EXECUTING, SQL_ERROR, or SQL_INVALID_HANDLE.
Diagnostics
When SQLProcedures returns SQL_ERROR or SQL_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO, an associated SQLSTATE value can be obtained by calling SQLGetDiagRec with a HandleType of SQL_HANDLE_STMT and a Handle of StatementHandle. The following table lists the SQLSTATE values commonly returned by SQLProcedures and explains each one in the context of this function; the notation "(DM)" precedes the descriptions of SQLSTATEs returned by the Driver Manager. The return code associated with each SQLSTATE value is SQL_ERROR, unless noted otherwise.
| SQLSTATE | Error | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 01000 | General warning | Driver-specific informational message. (Function returns SQL_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO.) |
| 08S01 | Communication link failure | The communication link between the driver and the data source to which the driver was connected failed before the function completed processing. |
| 24000 | Invalid cursor state | A cursor was open on the StatementHandle, and SQLFetch or SQLFetchScroll had been called. This error is returned by the Driver Manager if SQLFetch or SQLFetchScroll has not returned SQL_NO_DATA, and is returned by the driver if SQLFetch or SQLFetchScroll has returned SQL_NO_DATA. A cursor was open on the StatementHandle, but SQLFetch or SQLFetchScroll had not been called. |
| 40001 | Serialization failure | The transaction was rolled back due to a resource deadlock with another transaction. |
| 40003 | Statement completion unknown | The associated connection failed during the execution of this function, and the state of the transaction cannot be determined. |
| HY000 | General error | An error occurred for which there was no specific SQLSTATE and for which no implementation-specific SQLSTATE was defined. The error message returned by SQLGetDiagRec in the *MessageText buffer describes the error and its cause. |
| HY001 | Memory allocation error | The driver was unable to allocate memory required to support execution or completion of the function. |
| HY008 | Operation canceled | Asynchronous processing was enabled for the StatementHandle. The function was called, and before it completed execution, SQLCancel or SQLCancelHandle was called on the StatementHandle. Then the function was called again on the StatementHandle. The function was called, and before it completed execution, SQLCancel or SQLCancelHandle was called on the StatementHandle from a different thread in a multithread application. |
| HY009 | Invalid use of null pointer | The SQL_ATTR_METADATA_ID statement attribute was set to SQL_TRUE, the CatalogName argument was a null pointer, and the SQL_CATALOG_NAME InfoType returns that catalog names are supported. (DM) The SQL_ATTR_METADATA_ID statement attribute was set to SQL_TRUE, and the SchemaName or ProcName argument was a null pointer. |
| HY010 | Function sequence error | (DM) An asynchronously executing function was called for the connection handle that is associated with the StatementHandle. This asynchronous function was still executing when this function was called. (DM) SQLExecute, SQLExecDirect, or SQLMoreResults was called for the StatementHandle and returned SQL_PARAM_DATA_AVAILABLE. This function was called before data was retrieved for all streamed parameters. (DM) An asynchronously executing function (not this one) was called for the StatementHandle and was still executing when this function was called. (DM) SQLExecute, SQLExecDirect, SQLBulkOperations, or SQLSetPos was called for the StatementHandle and returned SQL_NEED_DATA. This function was called before data was sent for all data-at-execution parameters or columns. |
| HY013 | Memory management error | The function call could not be processed because the underlying memory objects could not be accessed, possibly because of low memory conditions. |
| HY090 | Invalid string or buffer length | (DM) The value of one of the name length arguments was less than 0 but not equal to SQL_NTS. The value of one of the name length arguments exceeded the maximum length value for the corresponding name. |
| HY117 | Connection is suspended due to unknown transaction state. Only disconnect and read-only functions are allowed. | (DM) For more information about suspended state, see SQLEndTran Function. |
| HYC00 | Optional feature not implemented | A procedure catalog was specified, and the driver or data source does not support catalogs. A procedure schema was specified, and the driver or data source does not support schemas. A string search pattern was specified for the procedure schema or procedure name, and the data source does not support search patterns for one or more of those arguments. The combination of the current settings of the SQL_ATTR_CONCURRENCY and SQL_ATTR_CURSOR_TYPE statement attributes was not supported by the driver or data source. The SQL_ATTR_USE_BOOKMARKS statement attribute was set to SQL_UB_VARIABLE, and the SQL_ATTR_CURSOR_TYPE statement attribute was set to a cursor type for which the driver does not support bookmarks. |
| HYT00 | Timeout expired | The query timeout period expired before the data source returned the requested result set. The timeout period is set through SQLSetStmtAttr, SQL_ATTR_QUERY_TIMEOUT. |
| HYT01 | Connection timeout expired | The connection timeout period expired before the data source responded to the request. The connection timeout period is set through SQLSetConnectAttr, SQL_ATTR_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT. |
| IM001 | Driver does not support this function | (DM) The driver associated with the StatementHandle does not support this function. |
| IM017 | Polling is disabled in asynchronous notification mode | Whenever the notification model is used, polling is disabled. |
| IM018 | SQLCompleteAsync has not been called to complete the previous asynchronous operation on this handle. | If the previous function call on the handle returns SQL_STILL_EXECUTING and if notification mode is enabled, SQLCompleteAsync must be called on the handle to do post-processing and complete the operation. |
Comments
SQLProcedures lists all procedures in the requested range. A user may or may not have permission to execute any of these procedures. To check accessibility, an application can call SQLGetInfo and check the SQL_ACCESSIBLE_PROCEDURES information value. Otherwise, the application must be able to handle a situation where the user selects a procedure that it cannot execute. For information about how this information might be used, see Procedures.
Note
For more information about the general use, arguments, and returned data of ODBC catalog functions, see Catalog Functions.
SQLProcedures returns the results as a standard result set, ordered by PROCEDURE_CAT, PROCEDURE_SCHEMA, and PROCEDURE_NAME.
Note
SQLProcedures might not return all procedures. Applications can use any valid procedure, regardless of whether it is returned by SQLProcedures.
The following columns have been renamed for ODBC 3*.x*. The column name changes do not affect backward compatibility because applications bind by column number.
| ODBC 2.0 column | ODBC 3*.x* column |
|---|---|
| PROCEDURE_QUALIFIER | PROCEDURE_CAT |
| PROCEDURE _OWNER | PROCEDURE _SCHEM |
To determine the actual lengths of the PROCEDURE_CAT, PROCEDURE_SCHEM, and PROCEDURE_NAME columns, an application can call SQLGetInfo with the SQL_MAX_CATALOG_NAME_LEN, SQL_MAX_SCHEMA_NAME_LEN, and SQL_MAX_PROCEDURE_NAME_LEN options.
The following table lists the columns in the result set. Additional columns beyond column 8 (PROCEDURE_TYPE) can be defined by the driver. An application should gain access to driver-specific columns by counting down from the end of the result set rather than specifying an explicit ordinal position. For more information, see Data Returned by Catalog Functions.
| Column name | Column number | Data type | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| PROCEDURE_CAT (ODBC 2.0) | 1 | Varchar | Procedure catalog identifier; NULL if not applicable to the data source. If a driver supports catalogs for some procedures but not for others, such as when the driver retrieves data from different DBMSs, it returns an empty string ("") for those procedures that do not have catalogs. |
| PROCEDURE_SCHEM (ODBC 2.0) | 2 | Varchar | Procedure schema identifier; NULL if not applicable to the data source. If a driver supports schemas for some procedures but not for others, such as when the driver retrieves data from different DBMSs, it returns an empty string ("") for those procedures that do not have schemas. |
| PROCEDURE_NAME (ODBC 2.0) | 3 | Varchar not NULL | Procedure identifier. |
| NUM_INPUT_PARAMS (ODBC 2.0) | 4 | N/A | Reserved for future use. Applications should not rely on the data returned in these result columns. |
| NUM_OUTPUT_PARAMS (ODBC 2.0) | 5 | N/A | Reserved for future use. Applications should not rely on the data returned in these result columns. |
| NUM_RESULT_SETS (ODBC 2.0) | 6 | N/A | Reserved for future use. Applications should not rely on the data returned in these result columns. |
| REMARKS (ODBC 2.0) | 7 | Varchar | A description of the procedure. |
| PROCEDURE_TYPE (ODBC 2.0) | 8 | Smallint | Defines the procedure type: SQL_PT_UNKNOWN: It cannot be determined whether the procedure returns a value. SQL_PT_PROCEDURE: The returned object is a procedure; that is, it does not have a return value. SQL_PT_FUNCTION: The returned object is a function; that is, it has a return value. |
The SchemaName and ProcName arguments accept search patterns. For more information about valid search patterns, see Pattern Value Arguments.
