ABSTRACT:
Provided is a method, system, and program for performing workflow related operations. An application programming interface call (API) is received to perform a workflow related operation. A determination is made of at least one stored procedure call associated with the received API. The determined at least one stored procedure is then called to cause the execution of one determined stored procedure on a database server to perform the workflow related operation of the API.
