[symfony-users] Re: How to execute a stored procedure on a remote db server throught symfony?
This article is what I read when I needed to setup and manage multiple databases in symfony: http://www.lampjunkie.com/2008/04/using-multiple-databases-in-symfony-with-propel/ The best bet to see how custom queries run is to look at the Propel documentation itself on the doSelectRS statement if you use Propel 1.2 or the doSelectStmt for Propel 1.3. Google should find you loads.

Hey dagger, it'll have to be a custom query to the effect of Call xyx(), but depending on what data is returned you may still rely on regular propel hydration. Or some manual handling of the result set.. Just for the record, I had major issues last time I tried accessing stored procedures via PDO. I was only able to call one procedure, after which PDO failed to properly close the connection and wouldn't allow me to call another procedure while the first result was still processing.. It's a well documented bug that forced me to bypass pdo altogether. Daniel On Sep 30, 3:47 am, dagger strategy.vs.lo...@gmail.com wrote: any suggests?
