Procedures

The Procedures schema collection describes the available stored procedures.

Retrieving the Stored Procedure Listing

To retrieve the Procedures schema collection, call the GetSchema method of the CompositeConnection class. Access the metadata in the DataTable object returned.

 

The following example outputs a list of stored procedure names:

C#

String connectionString = "Host=myHost;Domain=myDomain;DataSource=myDataSource;User=myUser;Password=myPassword";

using (CompositeConnection conn = new CompositeConnection(connectionString)) {

  conn.Open();

  DataTable table = conn.GetSchema("Procedures");

  foreach (DataRow row in table.Rows)

   Console.WriteLine(row["SPECIFIC_NAME"]);

}

VB.NET

Dim connectionString As String = "Host=myHost;Domain=myDomain;DataSource=myDataSource;User=myUser;Password=myPassword"

Using conn As New CompositeConnection(connectionString)

  conn.Open()

  Dim table As DataTable = conn.GetSchema("Procedures")

  For Each row As DataRow in table.Rows

    Console.WriteLine(row("SPECIFIC_NAME"))

  Next

End Using
