CALL statement

Applies to ❌ Open Source Edition   ✅ Express Edition   ✅ Professional Edition   ✅ Enterprise Edition

When using CREATE PROCEDURE statements, for greater composability, it is essential to be able to call a procedure from another procedure. This is done using the CALL statement.

// Create a procedure that inserts a log message in a table
Parameter<String> message = in("message", VARCHAR);

create.createProcedure("log")
      .parameters(message)
      .as(insertInto(LOG).columns(LOG.TEXT).values(message))
      .execute();

create.createProcedure("some_other_procedure")
      .as(
      // ...
      call("log").args(val("My first message")),
      // ...
      call("log").args(val("My second message"))
      // ...
      )
      .execute();
      

Dialect support

This example using jOOQ:

call("log").args(val("message"))

Translates to the following dialect specific expressions:

-- BIGQUERY, DB2, HANA, HSQLDB, MARIADB, MYSQL, POSTGRES, YUGABYTEDB
CALL log('message')

-- FIREBIRD, INFORMIX
EXECUTE PROCEDURE log('message')

-- ORACLE
BEGIN
  log('message');
END;

-- SQLDATAWAREHOUSE, SQLSERVER
EXEC log 'message'

-- ACCESS, ASE, AURORA_MYSQL, AURORA_POSTGRES, COCKROACHDB, DERBY, DUCKDB, EXASOL, H2, MEMSQL, REDSHIFT, SNOWFLAKE, 
-- SQLITE, SYBASE, TERADATA, TRINO, VERTICA
/* UNSUPPORTED */
