Using Refcursor in Callable Statement without using the Oracle Drivers

Question

Hello all,
Is there anyway to have a stored procedure (Oracle 8i) return a refcursor to my CallableStatement without using the Oracle Thin drivers (i'm now using jdbcodbc). I've tried registering my out parameter with every possible type i can think of...REF, JAVA_OBJECT, OTHER, etc. but with no luck.
Help!!!!

Answer 1

Certainly...I connect to the database using the
jdbcodbc driver and when i execute any of the code, i
get the following error:
java.sql.SQLException: [Oracle][ODBC][Ora]ORA-06550:
line 1, column 7:
PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call
to 'PVISUAL_GET'
ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PL/SQL: Statement ignored
It's bombing on the line that i attempt to register
OracleTypes.CURSOR. It works fine when i use the
oracle thin drivers, but i want to get this puppy
working with the JdbcOdbcDriver. Here's the code:
CallableStatement dbCall =
nt dbCall =
(CallableStatement)connection.prepareCall("{ call
PAK_VISUAL_GET.pvisual_get(?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?) }");
dbCall.setString(1, sessionKey);
dbCall.setInt(2,
l.setInt(2, Integer.parseInt(storedVizID));
dbCall.registerOutParameter(3,
arameter(3, OracleTypes.CURSOR);
dbCall.registerOutParameter(4,
arameter(4, OracleTypes.NUMBER);
dbCall.registerOutParameter(5,
arameter(5, OracleTypes.VARCHAR);
dbCall.registerOutParameter(6,
arameter(6, OracleTypes.NUMBER);
dbCall.execute();when you don't use oracle thin driver, you cannot use the OracleTypes. but, instead use the java.sql.Types values.Replace dbCall.registerOutParameter(3, OracleTypes.CURSOR); with
dbCall.registerOutParameter(3,java.sql.Types.OTHER). things should be fine.
