Getting the Return Value from JDBC MSSQL

Bozho’s 2nd revised answer was close but not quite there. It did lead me to the answer though.

Taking the code example I started with we end up with:

CallableStatement proc = connection.prepareCall("{ ? = call dbo.mySproc() }");
proc.registerOutParameter(1, Types.INTEGER);
proc.execute();
int returnValue = proc.getInt(1);

The key pieces here are the “? =” in front of the “call” in the prepareCall function which sets up a place for the return value and the registerOutputParameter. It has to be registered as an Integer, as the return value is always an int (at least in SQL Server, maybe it’s different in other DBs). You therefore have to get it using getInt. I tested this method and it does work.
