Requirements for Framework-Invoked Stored Procedures
When Enterprise Objects Framework invokes a stored procedure for an operation, the procedure must behave in an expected way. The Framework specifies what a stored procedure's arguments, results, and return values should be. For more information on these requirements, see the chapter "Answers to Common Design Questions" in the book Enterprise Objects Framework Developer's Guide.
