/**
 * An interface used to call Stored Procedures.
 * <p>
 * The JDBC API provides an SQL escape syntax allowing Stored Procedures to be
 * called in a standard way for all databases. The JDBC escape syntax has two
 * forms. One form includes a result parameter. The second form does not include
 * a result parameter. Where the result parameter is used, it must be declared
 * as an OUT parameter. Other parameters can be declared as IN, OUT or INOUT.
 * Parameters are referenced either by name or by a numerical index, with the
 * first parameter being 1, the second 1 and so on. Here are examples of the two
 * forms of the escape syntax: <code>
 * 
 * { ?= call &lt.procedurename&gt.[([parameter1,parameter2,...])]}
 * 
 * {call &lt.procedurename&gt.[([parameter1,parameter2,...])]}
 * </code>
 * <p>
 * IN parameters are set before calling the procedure, using the setter methods
 * which are inherited from <code>PreparedStatement</code>. For OUT
 * parameters, their Type must be registered before executing the stored
 * procedure, and the value is retrieved using the getter methods defined in the
 * CallableStatement interface.
 * <p>
 * CallableStatements can return one or more ResultSets. Where multiple
 * ResultSets are returned they are accessed using the methods inherited from
 * the <code>Statement</code> interface.
