今天来看看如何在dotConnect for Oracle中创建和使用Oracle存储过程，在OracleCommand类的帮助下用于Oracle的连接的函数。

    通过oraclecommand执行存储过程一般有两种方式。第一种方法就是包括一个调用到一个PL/SQL块中，将这个块放到OracleCommand.CommandText属性中，就可以执行了。在这种情况下，由存储过程返回的数据可能在同一个块中一次处理。如果进程需要一些参数，参数可以被添加到OracleCommand.Parameters集。

    第二种方法是将 OracleCommand.CommandType 设置为 System.Data.CommandType.StoredProcedure。在这种情况下，CommandText 应该设置为过程的名称。下面的示例演示如何使用get_all_depts_proc来填充一个数据表：

[C#]

// Open the connection
OracleConnection connection 
    = new OracleConnection("Server=Ora; User Id=Scott; Password = tiger;");
connection.Open();

// Create a command
OracleCommand command = new OracleCommand();
command.Connection = connection;

// Set the CommandType property to execute 
// stored procedures or functions by this command
command.CommandType = System.Data.CommandType.StoredProcedure;

// Set the name of procedure or function to be executed
command.CommandText = "get_all_depts_proc";

// The ParameterCheck property should be true to automatically 
// check the parameters needed for the procedure execution.
command.ParameterCheck = true;

// At this moment, the command is ready for execution. 
// As we have an output cursor parameter, we may use the command to fill a data table.
OracleDataTable dt = new OracleDataTable(command, connection);
dt.Fill();

[Visual Basic]

Dim connection _
    As New OracleConnection("Server=Ora; User Id=Scott; Password = tiger;")
connection.Open()

' Create a command.
Dim command = New OracleCommand()
command.Connection = connection

' Set the CommandType property to execute stored procedures or functions by this command.
command.CommandType = System.Data.CommandType.StoredProcedure

' Set the name of procedure or function to be executed.
command.CommandText = "get_all_depts_proc"

' The ParameterCheck property should be true to automatically 
' check the parameters needed for the procedure execution.
command.ParameterCheck = True

' At this moment, the command is ready for execution. 
' As we have an output cursor parameter, we may use the command to fill a data table.
Dim dt = New OracleDataTable(command, connection)
dt.Fill()

    设置CommandText为get_all_depts_func，使用存储功能而不是进程，相同的代码也将会填充数据表格。
