Bryan Pendleton commented on DERBY-1956:
----------------------------------------
By looking at the content of the dead code, can you make a guess as to what
feature it was in support of?
Cloudscape supported (in a non-standard way) direct calls to Java
methods as "procedures" with out parameters. The code was very messy,
trying to determine if a parameter was an IN or OUT parameter on the fly
was awkward. The code might have been related to that, being able to
call a Java method that was a "procedure" with out parameters and the
Java method returned a value, e.g.
{? = call some.method.inaclass.mymethod(?) }
The code was all replaced by standard SQL procedures and functions.
