Question

for a few days I’ve been trying and trying to get the stored procedure to work in vb.net, but I can’t seem to make it work.

I’d really appreciate it if someone could help me out here. I’ve been trying really hard to solve this problem, but I just can’t find a solution.

Private Sub getID()
    Dim ds As New DataSet
    Dim con_str = ""
    Dim con As MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlConnection = New MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlConnection(con_str)
    con.Open()
    Dim cmd As MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlCommand = New MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlCommand
    cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
    cmd.CommandText = "getID()"
    cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure

    cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@id", "113")
    Dim da As MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlDataAdapter = New MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlDataAdapter(cmd)
    Dim dt As New DataTable
    da.SelectCommand.Connection = con
    da.Fill(dt)
End Sub

When I try to run this I get the exception “Incorrect number of arguments for PROCEDURE otrs.getID; expected 1, got 0” on the line da.Fill(dt). I don’t really know why this happens. There is no argument declared in my stored procedure.

My stored procedure should be fine. Calling it out of the dbms worked out fine, but here is the code anyways:

delimiter $$
CREATE DEFINER=`otrs`@`%` PROCEDURE `getCIs`()
BEGIN
SELECT  
    l.source_key AS base_id,  
    c1.configitem_number AS base_number,
    v.name as base_name,
    l.target_key AS link_id,  
    c2.configitem_number AS link_number,
    v1.name as link_name,
    t.name as link_type
FROM  
    otrs.link_relation AS l
        INNER JOIN  
    otrs.configitem AS c1 
        ON l.source_key = c1.id     
        INNER JOIN  
    otrs.configitem AS c2 
        ON l.target_key = c2.id    
        INNER JOIN
    otrs.link_type AS t
        INNER JOIN
    otrs.configitem_version AS v
        ON l.source_key = v.configitem_id
        INNER JOIN
    otrs.configitem_version AS v1
        ON l.target_key = v1.configitem_id;
END$$

And yes, I did use the search-function and I googled quite a lot, but I’m still thankful for any kind of information regarding my problem.

So I found out was wrong. Apparently you dont need the () after the procedure-name. Im not 100% sure though, because now nothing happens at all:

Private Sub getID()
    Dim ds As New DataSet
    Dim con_str = ""
    Dim con As MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlConnection = New MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlConnection(con_str)
    con.Open()
    Dim cmd As MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlCommand = New MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlCommand
    cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
    Try
        cmd.CommandText = "getID"
    Catch ex As Exception
        MsgBox(ex.Message())
    End Try

    cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@id", 113)
    cmd.Connection = con
    Dim da As MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlDataAdapter = New MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlDataAdapter(cmd)
    Dim dt As New DataTable
    Try
        da.Fill(dt)
    Catch ex As Exception
        MsgBox(ex.Message())
    End Try
End Sub

Answer 1

This line is wrong it creates a new command with the command text of “call getID()” and adds it to the adapter with no parameters

  Dim da As MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlDataAdapter = _
   New MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlDataAdapter("call getID()", con_str)

you want

  cmd.CommandText = "getID"  
  Dim da As MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlDataAdapter = _
   New MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlDataAdapter(cmd, con_str)
