JDBC Driver for SAS Data Sets

Procedure Parameters

You can use the DatabaseMetaData interface to retrieve stored procedure information. The getProcedureColumns method returns descriptions of stored procedure parameters. You can restrict the results by the stored procedure name.

The following code example outputs information about the parameters of the SelectEntries stored procedure:

String connectionString = "jdbc:SASDataSets:URI=C:\myfolder;";

Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(connectionString);
DatabaseMetaData meta = conn.getMetaData();
ResultSet rs=meta.getProcedureColumns(null, null, "SelectEntries", null);  
while(rs.next()) {   
  for(int i=1;i<=rs.getMetaData().getColumnCount();i++)  {
    System.out.println(rs.getMetaData().getColumnName(i) +"="+rs.getString(i));
  }
}
