GetProcedureDef Function

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Description : GetProcedureDef returns information about the arguments of a given stored procedure. It returns a reference to a Scripting.Dictionary object whose keys and items collections will be filled about data gathered from the stored procedure. GetProcedureDef is primarily useful for MS Access users only as SQL Server users can just call sp_helptext 'procname' for the complete stored procedure definition of an unencrypted stored procedure. GetProcedureDef has two arguments: connstring and procname.

Arguments
==============
connstring OLEDB Connection String to MS Access database as string. procname stored procedure name as string to lookup for argument information.

Return Values
==============
GetProcedureDef returns a Scripting.Dictionary object, fully loaded. There will be at least one key/item pair in the dictionary at runtime if the stored procedure exists in the target database. Each key/item pair follows this format: key - represents the argument variable name minus the @ character. In TSQL, local variables must be prefaced with the @ character. These will be stripped from the key value. item - represents the data type of the argument variable specified in key. Returns a long. The following table identifies what each data type constant means: constant meaning

20 Eight-byte signed integer (DBTYPE_I8). 128 binary value (DBTYPE_BYTES). 11 boolean value (DBTYPE_BOOL). 8 null-terminated character string (Unicode) (DBTYPE_BSTR). 136 four-byte chapter value that identifies rows in a child rowset (DBTYPE_HCHAPTER). 129 string value (DBTYPE_STR). 6 currency value (DBTYPE_CY).

Function GetProcedureDef(ByVal connstring, ByVal procname)
Dim cnn, cmd, prm, cat, d

Set d = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
Set cnn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")

' Open the Connection
cnn.Open connstring

' Open the catalog
Set cat = CreateObject("ADOX.Catalog")
cat.ActiveConnection = cnn

' Get the command object
Set cmd = cat.Procedures(procname).Command

' Retrieve Parameter information
cmd.Parameters.Refresh
For Each prm In cmd.Parameters
d.Add prm.Name, prm.Type
Next

Set cmd = Nothing
Set cat = Nothing
Set cnn = Nothing

Set GetProcedureDef = d
End Function
