Call is portable and works for both Oracle and Microsoft for me. Here is the language reference for each in case you want to try it.

"Execute" works if you run it via SQLPlus but doesn't work in a filter. From what I can tell you must have a begin and end (for oracle) and it must be on one line. Just putting it in the ARSList archives because I know I will forget this and wonder why in the world my stored procedure isn't working ....

From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Garrison, Sean (Norcross) Sent: Thursday, September 22, 2011 5:23 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Oracle stored procedure call ... ** This is kind of weird but I have been debugging why an oracle stored procedure call wasn't working for me. We created a simple stored procedure called "TEST_SP2" and it would not work. What we found was you had to put it all on one line: declare begin TEST_SP2; end; This did not work: Declare Begin TEST_SP2; end; Anyone notice similar behavior? It used to work that way in 7.0.1 but I might be mistaken. We are currently on 7.5 patch 6. Do I need to do something different?
