How do I call an Oracle SQL procedure from the command line?

Question

How do I call an Oracle stored procedure with parameters?

It has one input and one output parameter, and looks like doSomething(IN x,OUT y); .

How do I call it from the command line?

Answer 1

Assuming SQL*Plus:

var v_result number
exec doSomething(42, :v_result);
print v_result

You can put that into a SQL script and pass that on the commandline to SQL*Plus.

Answer 2

try this

BEGIN
var v_outparam1 number;
var v_outparam2 number;
exec myProc(v_outparam1,v_outparam1);
END;
