∟Creating CallableStatement Objects with Parameters

This section describes how to create CallableStatement objects with IN and OUT parameters.

For an IN parameter defined in a stored procedure, you can put a static value or a place holder in the CALL statement when creating the CallableStatement object. A value for that place holder must be provided by the setXXX() method.

For an OUT parameter defined in a stored procedure, you must put a place holder in the CALL statement when creating the CallableStatement object. That place holder must be registered with the registerOutParameter() method.

In a previous tutorial, I defined a store procedure called, ReverseProcedure(), with 1 IN parameter and 2 OUT parameters. The program below shows you to create a CallableStatement object to execute this stored procedure:

/* MySqlCallParameter.java

import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.CallableStatement;

public class MySqlCallParameter {
  public static void main(String [] args) {
    Connection con = null;
    try {
      com.mysql.cj.jdbc.MysqlDataSource ds
        = new com.mysql.cj.jdbc.MysqlDataSource();
      ds.setServerName("localhost");
      ds.setPortNumber(3306);
      ds.setDatabaseName("HerongDB");
      ds.setUser("Herong");
      ds.setPassword("TopSecret");
      ds.setServerTimezone(java.util.TimeZone.getDefault().getID());
      con = ds.getConnection();

// Create CallableStatement
      CallableStatement cs = con.prepareCall(
        "CALL ReverseProcedure(?,?,?)");

// Provide values for IN parameters
      String word = "Herong";
      cs.setString(1,word);

// Register OUT parameters
      cs.registerOutParameter(2, java.sql.Types.VARCHAR);
      cs.registerOutParameter(3, java.sql.Types.INTEGER);

// Execute the CALL statement and ignore result sets
      cs.executeUpdate();

// Retrieve values from OUT parameters
      String reversed = cs.getString(2);
      int length = cs.getInt(3);
      System.out.println("Input word: "+word);
      System.out.println("Output word: "+reversed);
      System.out.println("Word length: "+length);

// Close resource
      cs.close();

      con.close();
    } catch (Exception e) {
      System.err.println("Exception: "+e.getMessage());
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
  }
}

The output of the program confirms that I handled IN and OUT parameters correctly:

herong> java -cp .:mysql-connector-java.jar \
   MySqlCallParameter.java

Input word: Herong
Output word: gnoreH
Word length: 6
