> # Procedure Call Escape Sequences

> A procedure is an executable object stored in the data store. Generally, it is one or more SQL statements that have been precompiled.

> The ODBC and JDBC drivers use the following escape sequence for calling a procedure:

>     {[?=]call procedure-name[([parameter][,[parameter]]...)]}

> where:

> procedure-name is the name of a stored procedure. You can call stored procedures with or without the schema name qualification.

> parameter is a stored procedure parameter.
