cfstoredproc

Description

Executes a stored procedure in a server database. It specifies database connection information and identifies the stored procedure.

Syntax

<cfstoredproc 
    dataSource = "data source name" 
    procedure = "procedure name" 
    cachedAfter = "date" 
    cachedWithin = "time span" 
    debug = "yes|no" 
    blockFactor = "block size" 
    password = "password" 
    result = "result name" 
    returnCode = "yes|no" 
    username = "user name">
Note: You can specify this tag's attributes in an attributeCollection attribute whose value is a structure. Specify the structure name in the attributeCollection attribute and use the tag’s attribute names as structure keys.

History

ColdFusion MX 7: Added the result attribute.

ColdFusion MX: Deprecated the connectString, dbName, dbServer, dbtype, provider, and providerDSN attributes. They do not work, and might cause an error, in releases later than ColdFusion 5. (Releases starting with ColdFusion MX use Type 4 JDBC drivers.)

Attributes

Attribute

Req/Opt

Default

Description

dataSource

Required

 

Name of data source that points to database that contains stored procedure.

procedure

Required

 

Name of stored procedure on database server.

blockFactor

Optional

1

Maximum number of rows to get at a time from server. Range is 1 to 100.

cachedAfter

Optional

 

A date value (for example, April 16, 2008, 4-16-2008). If the date of original query is after this date, ColdFusion uses cached query data. To use cached data, the current query must use same SQL statement, data source, query name, user name, and password.

A date/time object is in the range 100 AD–9999 AD.

When specifying a date value as a string, enclose it in quotation marks.

cachedWithin

Optional

 

A time span, created using the CreateTimeSpan function. If the original query date falls within the time span, cached query data is used. CreateTimeSpan defines a period from the present, back. Takes effect only if query caching is enabled in the Administrator.

To use cached data, the current query must use the same SQL statement, data source, query name, user name, and password.

debug

Optional

no

  • yes: lists debug information on each statement.

  • no

password

Optional

 

Overrides password in data source setup.

result

Optional

 

Specifies a name for the structure in which cfstoredproc returns the statusCode and ExecutionTime variables. If set, this value replaces cfstoredproc as the prefix to use when accessing those variables. For more information, see Usage.

returnCode

Optional

no

  • yes: populates cfstoredproc.statusCode with status code returned by the stored procedure.

  • no

username

Optional

 

Overrides username in data source setup.

Usage

Use this tag to call a database stored procedure. Within this tag, you code cfprocresult and cfprocparam tags as follows:

  • cfprocresult: If the stored procedure returns one or more result sets, code one cfprocresult tag per result set.

  • cfprocparam: If the stored procedure uses input or output parameters, code one cfprocparam tag per parameter, ensuring that you include every parameter in the stored procedure definition.

If you set returnCode = "Yes", this tag sets the variable prefix.statusCode, which holds the status code for a stored procedure. Status code values vary by DBMS. For the meaning of code values, see your DBMS documentation.

This tag sets the variable prefix.ExecutionTime, which contains the execution time of the stored procedure, in milliseconds.

The value of prefix is either cfstoredproc or the value specified by the result attribute, if it is set. The result attribute provides a way for stored procedures that are called from multiple pages, possibly at the same time, to avoid overwriting the results of one call with another. If you set the result attribute to myResult, for example, you would access ExecutionTime as myResult.ExecutionTime. Otherwise, you would access it as cfstoredproc.ExecutionTime.

Before implementing this tag, ensure that you understand stored procedures and their usage.

The following examples use a Sybase stored procedure; for an example of an Oracle 8 or 9 stored procedure, see cfprocparam.

Example

<cfset ds = "sqltst"> 
 
<!--- 
If submitting a new book, 
insert the record and display 
confirmation ---> 
<cfif isDefined("form.title")> 
 
<cfstoredproc procedure="Insert_Book" datasource="#ds#"> 
 
<cfprocparam 
    cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar" 
    value="#form.title#"> 
 
<cfprocparam 
    cfsqltype="cf_sql_numeric" 
    value="#form.price#"> 
 
<cfprocparam 
    cfsqltype="cf_sql_date" 
    value="#form.price#"> 
 
<cfprocparam 
    cfsqltype="cf_sql_numeric" 
    type="out" 
    variable="bookId"> 
 
</cfstoredproc> 
 
<cfoutput> 
<h3>'#form.title#' inserted into database.The ID is #bookId#.</h3> 
</cfoutput> 
 
</cfif> 
 
<cfform action="#CGI.SCRIPT_NAME#" method="post"> 
<h3>Insert a new book</h3> 
 
Title:  
<cfinput type="text" size="20" required="yes" name="title"/> 
<br/> 
 
Price:  
<cfinput type="text" size="20" required="yes" name="price" validate="float" /> 
<br/> 
 
Publish Date:  
<cfinput type="text" size="5" required="yes" name="publishDate" validate="date" /> 
<br/> 
 
<input type="submit" value="Insert Book"/> 
 
</cfform> 
 
<!---  
    This view-only example executes a Sybase stored procedure that  
    returns three result sets, two of which we want. The stored  
    procedure returns the status code and one output parameter,  
    which we display. We use named notation for the parameters.  
---> 
<!---  
<cfstoredproc procedure = "foo_proc" 
    dataSource = "MY_SYBASE_TEST" username = "sa" 
    password = "" dbServer = "scup" dbName = "pubs2" 
    returnCode = "Yes" debug = "Yes"> 
    <cfprocresult name = RS1> 
    <cfprocresult name = RS3 resultSet = 3> 
 
    <cfprocparam type = "IN" CFSQLType = CF_SQL_INTEGER         
            value = "1" dbVarName = @param1> 
    <cfprocparam type = "OUT" CFSQLType = CF_SQL_DATE 
        variable = FOO dbVarName = @param2> 
</cfstoredproc> 
---> 
<!---  
<cfoutput>    The output param value: '#foo#'<br></cfoutput> 
<h3>The Results Information</h3>
