Getting the Return Value from JDBC MSSQL

Question

I\'m connecting to SQL Server (2005) through Java using the Microsoft SQL Server JDBC Driver 2.0.

How do I get the return value from a stored procedure? I\'m doing

Answer 1

c.prepareCall("? = ..");
cs.execute();
String returnedValue = cs.getString(1);

(or the method of the appropriate type. You can use getObject alternatively)

From an old getting started tutorial

the getXXX methods in CallableStatement retrieve values from the OUT parameters and/or return value of a stored procedure.

(Btw, the links that were provided by Umesh had this sort of information.)
