Class SqlProcedureEngine

java.lang.Object
  org.sqlproc.engine.SqlEngine
      org.sqlproc.engine.SqlProcedureEngine

public class SqlProcedureEngine
extends SqlEngine

The primary SQL Processor class for the META SQL stored procedures execution.

Instance of this class holds one META SQL statement for the stored procedure invocation and one optional Mapping rule.

For example there's a stored function, which subtracts one hour from the time passed on to this function as a parameter. For HSQLDB it can be

 CREATE FUNCTION an_hour_before(t TIMESTAMP)
   RETURNS TIMESTAMP
   RETURN t - 1 HOUR
 

HSQLDB function returns the result set with one column with generated name. To invoke this function the next META SQL statement and mapping rule should be used

 SIMPLE_FUNCTION(CALL)=
   call an_hour_before(:time)
 ;
 SIMPLE_FUNCTION(OUT)=
   1$stamp
 ;
 

You can see that the name of META SQL statement should has the type (inside the parenthesis) CALL. There's used an output mapping with one mapping item. The database column name is 1, so this name is used as an index to retrieve the output value from the result set. At the same time the META type stamp is used, as there's no result class with the output attribute, which can hold the type of the output value.

For ORACLE it can be

 CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION an_hour_before (t IN DATE)
 RETURN DATE
 AS 
 BEGIN
    RETURN t - INTERVAL '1' HOUR;
 END an_hour_before;
 

and for MySQL it can be

 CREATE FUNCTION an_hour_before(t TIMESTAMP) RETURNS TIMESTAMP
 BEGIN
       RETURN SUBTIME(t, '1:00:00.000000');
 END
 

To invoke them the next META SQL statement without any mapping rule should be used, as there's no output result set

 SIMPLE_FUNCTION(CALL)=
   :<1^stamp = call an_hour_before(:time)
 ;
 

You can see there's a special input value :<1^stamp with the name 1, which is used as an index to register OUT parameter to the CallableStatement. The special character < denotes that this input parameter is in fact of type OUT.

In the case of the SQL Processor initialization

 JdbcEngineFactory sqlFactory = new JdbcEngineFactory();
 sqlFactory.setMetaFilesNames("statements.qry"); // the meta statements file
 SqlProcedureEngine sqlEngine = sqlFactory.getProcedureEngine("SIMPLE_FUNCTION");
 Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:hsqldb:mem:sqlproc", "sa", "");
 SqlSession session = new JdbcSimpleSession(connection);
 

there's created an instance of SqlProcessorEngine with the name SIMPLE_FUNCTION.

Let's have an input form

 public class FormSimpleFunction {
     private java.sql.Timestamp time;
     private java.sql.Timestamp time2;
     // getters and setters
 }
 

Next the simple stored function can be executed in the following way

 FormSimpleFunction f = new FormSimpleFunction();
 f.setTime(new java.sql.Timestamp(new Date().getTime()));
 java.sql.Timestamp result = (java.sql.Timestamp) sqlEngine.callFunction(session, f);
 

The result from the stored function execution can be also settled back into a search form. Let's have a META SQl statement

 SIMPLE_FUNCTION(CALL)=
   :<time2 = call an_hour_before(:time)
 ;
 

and run the function in the following way

 FormSimpleFunction f = new FormSimpleFunction();
 f.setTime(new java.sql.Timestamp(new Date().getTime()));
 sqlEngine.callFunction(session, f);
 

The result will be stored in the attribute time2 in the search form FormSimpleFunction.

                  throws SqlProcessorException,
                         SqlRuntimeException

Runs the stored procedure based on the META SQL statement to obtain a list of database rows. This is the primary and the most complex SQL Processor execution method to obtain a list of result class instances. The parameters for the stored procedure execution are taken from the input values.

Parameters:

session - The SQL Engine session. It can work as a first level cache and the SQL query execution context. The implementation depends on the stack, on top of which the SQL Processor works. For example it can be an Hibernate session.

resultClass - The class used for the return values, the stored procedure execution output. This class is also named as the output class or the transport class, In fact it's a standard POJO class, which must include all the attributes described in the mapping rule statement. This class itself and all its subclasses must have public constructors without any parameters. All the attributes used in the mapping rule statement must be accessible using public getters and setters. The instances of this class are created on the fly in the process of the stored procedure execution using the reflection API.

dynamicInputValues - The object used for the stored procedure dynamic input values. The class of this object is also named as the input class or the dynamic parameters class. The exact class type isn't important, all the parameters settled into the SQL callable statement are picked up using the reflection API. At the same time this object can collect the output values from all OUT and INOUT stored procedure parameters.

staticInputValues - The object used for the stored procedure static input values. The class of this object is also named as the input class or the static parameters class. The exact class type isn't important, all the parameters injected into the callable statement are picked up using the reflection API. Compared to dynamicInputValues input parameters, parameters in this class should't be produced by an end user to prevent SQL injection threat!

maxTimeout - The max SQL execution time. This parameter can help to protect production system against ineffective SQL statements. The value is in milliseconds.

Returns:

The list of the resultClass instances.
