public abstract void registerOutParameter (String parameterName, int sqlType) throws SQLException

Registers the OUT parameter named parameterName to the JDBC type sqlType. All OUT parameters must be registered before a stored procedure is executed.

The JDBC type specified by sqlType for an OUT parameter determines the Java type that must be used in the get method to read the value of that parameter.

If the JDBC type expected to be returned to this output parameter is specific to this particular database, sqlType should be java.sql.Types.OTHER. The method getObject retrieves the value.

Parameters:
parameterName    the name of the parameter
sqlType    the JDBC type code defined by java.sql.Types. If the parameter is of JDBC type NUMERIC or DECIMAL, the version of registerOutParameter that accepts a scale value should be used.

Exceptions:
SQLException    if parameterName does not correspond to a named parameter; if a database access error occurs or this method is called on a closed CallableStatement
SQLFeatureNotSupportedException    if sqlType is a ARRAY, BLOB, CLOB, DATALINK, JAVA_OBJECT, NCHAR, NCLOB, NVARCHAR, LONGNVARCHAR, REF, ROWID, SQLXML or STRUCT data type and the JDBC driver does not support this data type or if the JDBC driver does not support this method
