ABSTRACT:
A system and method for passing arrays and structures as host variables to a stored procedure. An application program packs an array or structure into a binary large object (BLOB) and sends the BLOB to a database management system. An adapter called by the database management system, and coupled to the stored procedure, passes a reference to the data area in the BLOB to the stored procedure. After completion of the stored procedure, the BLOB is returned to the application program. Finally, upon the return from the stored procedure call, the application program unpacks the BLOB back into the array or structure.
