This is a copy of a StackOverflow 
post<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21894220/sql-server-stored-procedure-via-soci-odbc-in-c>...

I am using the SOCI library to programmatically interact with a SQL Server DB 
via ODBC. I am having trouble getting values via output parameters in stored 
procedures. Some code (modeled after SOCI 
documentation<http://soci.sourceforge.net/doc/3.2/statements.html#procedures>)...

  /*
   * create procedure
   * Dan.soci_proc @id int, @name varchar(32) output
   * as begin
   * set nocount on;
   * select @name = name from Dan.soci_test where id = @id
   * end
   */
  std::string sql = "Dan.soci_proc :id, :name";
  std::string name;
  int proc_ndx = 1;
  soci::procedure proc = (my_soci.get_session().prepare << sql, 
soci::use(proc_ndx),
                                                           soci::use(name));
  std::cout << "\nAttempting to execute stored procedure " << size << " times."
               << std::endl;
  for (; proc_ndx < adj_size; ++proc_ndx) {
    try {
      proc.execute();
      while (proc.fetch())
        std::cout << "Fetched: " << name << std::endl;
    } catch (const soci::odbc_soci_error& e) {
      std::cerr << "Error executing stored procedure." << std::endl;
      std::cerr << e.what() << std::endl;
      std::cerr << e.odbc_error_message() << std::endl;
      return;
    }
  }

My code does not throw any errors or exceptions, but nothing is fetched, 
either. I have tried calling it many different ways (normal exec syntax, ODBC 
call syntax, etc.), but nothing seems to work. I'm wondering if the error goes 
back to this from here<http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms131685.aspx>...

"If an input/output parameter is omitted, or if a literal is supplied for the 
parameter, the driver discards the output value."

Unfortunately, SOCI doesn't really seem to support parameter markers, at least 
as far as I can tell.

I have made the code work by using this kind of syntax...

std::string sql = "declare @name varchar(32); "
                      "exec Dan.soci_proc :id, @name = @name output; select 
@name";
...
soci::procedure proc = (my_soci.get_session().prepare << sql, 
soci::use(proc_ndx),
                                 soci::into(name));

But that isn't ideal, for reasons that I think are obvious.

Has anyone out there used SOCI and have some input into what I need to do 
differently to get this to work?
