[Zope] Zope and Sybase Stored Procedures

[Ralph Heinkel]

Hi,

we are using Zope 2.1.6 with Sybase 11.9.2 on Suse Linux, and calling
stored procedures just works fine. 

e.g. 
create procedure csp_add_barcode
	@tableName varchar(12), @barcode numeric(8) OUT
AS
	insert into BarcodeItem (tableName) values (@tableName)
	select @barcode = @@identity

This is a stored procedure that inserts one row into the table 'BarcodeItem'
and returns an automatically created unique identity key as a result named
'barcode'.

The ZSQL methods takes one parameter 'tableName' and returns the resulting
'barcode' like a normal select statement does.

The query template simply is:

csp_add_barcode <dtml-sqlvar tableName type=string>


Hope that helps. Btw, Zope 2.2.0 has a bug in connecting to SybaseDA which
is reported to digicool. Should be fixed in the next release. If interested
for the fix, send me a mail.

Ralph
