<p>The CREATE PROCEDURE statement defines a procedure at the current server.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The following types of procedures can be defined:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>External
|
||
|
|
<p>The procedure program or service program is written
|
||
|
|
in a programming language such as C, COBOL, or Java™. The external executable is referenced
|
||
|
|
by a procedure defined at the current server along with various attributes
|
||
|
|
of the procedure. See <a href="rbafzmstcrtpef.htm#crtpef">CREATE PROCEDURE (External)</a>.</p></li>
|
||
|
|
<li>SQL
|
||
|
|
<p>The procedure is written exclusively in SQL. The procedure body
|
||
|
|
is defined at the current server along with various attributes of the procedure.
|
||
|
|
See <a href="rbafzmstcrtpsf.htm#crtpsf">CREATE PROCEDURE (SQL)</a>.</p></li></ul>

<p><span class="bold">Choosing data types for parameters:</span> <a id="idx1913" name="idx1913"></a>For portability of procedures across platforms that are not DB2 UDB for iSeries, do
|
||
|
|
not use the following data types, which might have different representations
|
||
|
|
on different platforms: </p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>FLOAT. Use DOUBLE or REAL instead.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>NUMERIC. Use DECIMAL instead.</li></ul>
|
||
|
|
<p><span class="bold">Specifying AS LOCATOR for a parameter:</span> <a id="idx1914" name="idx1914"></a>Passing a locator
|
||
|
|
instead of a value can result in fewer bytes being passed in or out of the
|
||
|
|
procedure. This can be useful when the value of the parameter is very large.
|
||
|
|
The AS LOCATOR clause specifies that a locator to the value of the parameter
|
||
|
|
is passed instead of the actual value. Specify AS LOCATOR only for parameters
|
||
|
|
with a LOB data type or a distinct type based on a LOB data type.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>AS LOCATOR cannot be specified for SQL procedures.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><span class="bold">Determining the uniqueness of procedures in
|
||
|
|
a schema:</span> <a id="idx1915" name="idx1915"></a>At the current server, each procedure signature must be unique.
|
||
|
|
The signature of a procedure is the qualified procedure name combined with
|
||
|
|
the number of the parameters (the data types of the parameters are not part
|
||
|
|
of a procedure's signature). This means that two different schemas can each
|
||
|
|
contain a procedure with the same name that have the same number of parameters.
|
||
|
|
However, a schema must not contain two procedures with the same name that
|
||
|
|
have the same number of parameters.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><span class="bold">The specific name for a procedure:</span> <a id="idx1916" name="idx1916"></a>When defining
|
||
|
|
multiple procedures with the same name and schema (with different number of
|
||
|
|
parameters), it is recommended that a specific name also be specified. The
|
||
|
|
specific name can be used to uniquely identify the procedure when dropping,
|
||
|
|
granting to, revoking from, or commenting on the procedure.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>If the SPECIFIC clause is not specified, a specific name is generated.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><span class="bold">Special registers in procedures:</span> The settings of
|
||
|
|
the special registers of the invoker are inherited by the procedure when called
|
||
|
|
and restored upon return to the invoker.</p>
