Using boolean DbType in OracleCommand

[rishi_invar]

Hi,

I am trying to execute a stored procedure using an OracleCommand, the stored procedure is as follows:

create or replace
PROCEDURE "INSERT_CUSTOMTABLEMETADATA"
(
"TABLENAME" IN VARCHAR2,
"TABLETYPE" IN VARCHAR2,
"COLUMNNAME" IN VARCHAR2,
"SEQUENCE" IN NUMBER,
"SYSTEMCOLUMN" IN NUMBER,
"DATATYPE" IN VARCHAR2,
"REQUIRED" IN NUMBER,
"PARAMETER1" IN VARCHAR2,
"PARAMETER2" IN VARCHAR2,
"PARAMETER3" IN VARCHAR2,
"PARAMETER4" IN VARCHAR2,
"PARAMETER5" IN VARCHAR2,
"SELECTIONTYPE" IN VARCHAR2,
"ID" OUT NUMBER
) AS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO "CUSTOMTABLEMETADATA"(
"TABLENAME",
"TABLETYPE",
"COLUMNNAME",
"SEQUENCE",
"SYSTEMCOLUMN",
"DATATYPE",
"REQUIRED",
"PARAMETER1",
"PARAMETER2",
"PARAMETER3",
"PARAMETER4",
"PARAMETER5",
"SELECTIONTYPE"
) VALUES
(
"TABLENAME",
"TABLETYPE",
"COLUMNNAME",
"SEQUENCE",
"SYSTEMCOLUMN",
"DATATYPE",
"REQUIRED",
"PARAMETER1",
"PARAMETER2",
"PARAMETER3",
"PARAMETER4",
"PARAMETER5",
"SELECTIONTYPE"
) RETURNING ID INTO "ID";
END;

The REQUIRED column is of type Number(1,0).

I create an OracleCommand to call this procedure for the "REQUIRED" parameter I set it as a boolean DBType with a boolean value. Then on executing the command I get the following error:

PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'INSERT_CUSTOMTABLEMETADATA'

I have tried to use the ParameterCheck option and this results in the same error.

Is there no automatic conversion of boolean dbtypes to their correct database equivalent.

Any help regarding this issue would be much appreciated.

The OracleDbType.Boolean parameter type is used for support of stored procedures with PL/SQL BOOLEAN parameter. Therefore, we recommend you to follow one of these ways:
1. To use OracleDbType.Number.
2. To create procedure with BOOLEAN parameter.
3. To type manually the function call in CommandText explicitly:
BEGIN insert_customtablemetadata(:ID, :REQUIRED);END;
