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();
