  • Passing arrays to stored procedures
    Patent number: 5978580
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture for passing a VisualBasic array argument to an SQL stored procedure executed by a computer. The VisualBasic array is first created in the memory of the computer and comprises an object. The array is then passed to a C or C++ function in the memory of the computer. The function to which the array is passed is declared as an alias for another function within VisualBasic. Execution of the function by the computer returns a handle for the passed array. Finally, the handle is passed to the SQL stored procedure in the memory of the computer, and is accessed by the stored procedure during execution by the computer.
