Re: Calling a stored procedure from PHP, they can't make this stuff any easier.

Also keep in mind that the data types of your parameters must match exactly. SQL allows for overloading of stored procedures.

In other words... If your stored procedure is defined to accept a numeric parameter and you pass a character you will get a message that the stored procedure can't be found.

You should call the procedure with whatever name came after the CREATE
PROCEDURE statement when you created it. So, if your create procedure
statement was:

[code]
create procedure this_is_a_really_long_name()
// procedure code
[/code]

You need to call it with:

[code]
call this_is_a_really_long_name();
[/code]

It doesn't matter what the object name generate is. The SQL Engine handles
translating the procedure name to the actual system object name.
