ExecuteStoredProcedure runs a stored procedure on a database. It allows specifying values for parameters to send to the stored procedure and it returns the values of any out-parameters. If the stored procedure returns one or more result sets (tables), its rows can be received one at a time in a loop, or all at once in a list.
Important: Use the "Row by row" option of this function's Return options when retrieving large datasets!
The type of database driver to use to connect to the database.
The supported driver types are:
SQL Server
Oracle

ODBC
Alternatively, instead of creating a new connection, choose Use transaction to use a Transaction object from a function.
The that specifies how to connect to the database.

List of rows The function will return the rows of each result set in separate lists.
