Multiple proc. executions in VB with ADO

Question

Hi !
I am migrating a VB application, from SYBASE to ORACLE. In this application, some stored proc. are called in a single "Execute" line of VB code:
strSQL = "EXEC proc_name;EXEC proc_name;EXEC proc_name..."
oCommand.Execute strSQL
This works with SYBASE, not with ORACLE (an error is returned). How can I handle that? Do I need to decompose my orders in several single "Execute"??
Thanks for your help!

Answer 1

You can either decompose your stored procedure calls into a series of individual stored procedure calls or you can use an anonymous PL/SQL block to execute multiple stored procedures. Which way you go will depend on how interrelated the stored procedure calls are, whether you want individual calls to be atomic or whether you want a set of calls to be an atomic operation, etc.
The anonymous PL/SQL block equivalent to your Sybase SQL statements would be-
declare
begin
  proc_name1;
  proc_name2;
  proc_name3;
end;Justin
