ORA-06550: line 1, column 7: PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call

Question

I want call a procedure from my Java code to delete from database. Below is my Java code and exception

String procedureCall = "{call NEW_PORTING_PRC.delete_album_metadata(?)}";
                        CallableStatement cal = conn.prepareCall(procedureCall);
                        cal.setString(1, catId);
                        cal.registerOutParameter(2, oracle.jdbc.OracleTypes.VARCHAR);
                        cal.execute();

Exception is:

ERROR ["http-bio-8080"-exec-9] (Content_005fDelete_jsp.java:45) - [15-05-15 14:16:01,912] -  
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'DELETE_ALBUM_METADATA'
ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PL/SQL: Statement ignored

Can anyone suggest where I am going wrong?

Answer 1

you are passing one parameter to the NEW_PORTING_PRC.delete_album_metadata procedure and it's expecting a different number of parameters

or

you are passing a varchar where it is expecting a number, date etc
