OTL 4.0, Example 400
(Sybase SQL Server: otl_stream::describe_select() and result sets)

This example demonstrates the otl_stream::describe_select() with a stored procedure call returning a result set.

Source Code

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

#include <stdio.h>

#define OTL_ODBC_UNIX // Compile OTL 4.0/ODBC
#include <otlv4.h> // include the OTL 4.0 header file

otl_connect db; // connect object

void insert()
// insert rows into table

                 // SQL statement
              db // connect object
             );
 char tmp[32];

 for(int i=1;i<=100;++i){
  sprintf(tmp,"Name%d",i);
  o<<(float)i<<tmp;
 }

void select()

       // the stored procedure needs to be executed.
       // Forcing the execution of the stored procedure by entering its input

Output

========== COLUMN #1 ===========

otl_var_dbtype=4
dbsize=10
scale=0

nullok=1
========== COLUMN #2 ===========
