My team’s using a python-based wiki server that calls stored procedures on a SQL Server database. Ideally, we’d like to return integer values (1,0,-1) from the stored procedure to show basic results.
According to a 2008 thread on Google Groups, return values aren’t supported by pyodbc, so the alternative is to SELECT the result as a row and check it instead. Is that still the case? Is there a (supported and documented) programmatic way to check the return value from SQL stored procedures? (If so, please add a current reference or example.)
Here’s some relevant information: http://code.google.com/p/pyodbc/wiki/StoredProcedures
It sounds like return values are still not supported, so you’ll need to use a
SELECT.
