Call Statements

Syntax

Figure 1 shows the syntax diagram for calling a clause.

Figure 1 call_clause::=

The above syntax diagram is explained as follows:

• procedure_name specifies the name of a stored procedure.
• parameter specifies the parameters for the stored procedure. You can set no parameter or multiple parameters.

Examples

-- Create the stored procedure proc_staffs.
openGauss=# CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE proc_staffs
(
section     NUMBER(6),
salary_sum out NUMBER(8,2),
staffs_count out INTEGER
)
IS
BEGIN
SELECT sum(salary), count(*) INTO salary_sum, staffs_count FROM hr.staffs where section_id = section;
END;
/

-- Invoke the stored procedure proc_return.
openGauss=# CALL proc_staffs(2,8,6);

-- Delete a stored procedure.
openGauss=# DROP PROCEDURE proc_staffs;
