How to call a procude in oracle and return an array

Question

I need to call a procedure and return an array, can give some example code?

Answer 1

First create ArrayDescriptor
like:
    public ArrayDescriptor createDescriptor(Connection con, String typename) throws SQLException
        if(typename==null)
            return null;
        //WARNING! typename should be in upper case only! Otherwise Exception "invalid name pattern"
        //will be thrown!
        return ArrayDescriptor.createDescriptor(typename.toUpperCase(),con);
    }Then use SetArray function to a prepared query (just like SetInt() or
SetString()):
public void setArray(PreparedStatement st, int index, Object [] value, ArrayDescriptor ad) throws SQLException
        ARRAY array = new ARRAY(ad, st.getConnection(), value);
        if(st instanceof OraclePreparedStatement)
            OraclePreparedStatement opst=(OraclePreparedStatement )st;
            opst.setArray(index, array);
        else
            throw new SQLException("Oracle JDBC driver required to support setArray() operation!");
    }In the same way you could implement RegisterOutParameter() which
accepts Array - it's provided by class OraclePreparedStatement...
look Oracle JDBC manuals - everything is there.
Enjoy!
