-/**
- * 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.

+/**
+ * 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

+ * 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.
