When I Extract Procedure using TIBCMetaData, I can't get my detail procedure using this component.

I've try this one :

var 
 MetaData : TIBCMetaData;
  S : String
begin
  MetaData := TIBCMetaData.Create(Nil);
  MetaData.Connection := IBCConnection1;
  MetaData.MetaDataKind := 'Procedures';
  MetaData.Restrictions.Values['PROCEDURE_NAME'] := 'ADD_DETAILPO';
  MetaData.Active := True;
  while not MetaData.Eof do
  begin
    S := MetaData.Fields[2].AsString + AnsiString(#13#10) + S;
    MetaData.Next;
  end;
end;

the result just the name of procedure not detail of procedure.

Can you help me how to get DDL / detail Stock Procedure ? Cause I need to update Database and alter newer procedure on the same Procedure Name.

Thanks
Best regards.

Using the TIBCMetaData component, you can retrieve only the list of strored procedures and information about their parameters. Firebird architecture doesn't allow to get the full DDL of a stored procedure, so you have to generate it. For this, you can use the following recommendations:
- when setting the TIBCMetaData.MetaDataKind property to 'Procedures', you can get only the list of stored procedures.
- by setting this property to ProcedureParameters, you can get the needed information about parameters of stored procedures;
- body of stored procedure is stored in the RDB$PROCEDURE_SOURCE field of the RDB$PROCEDURES Firebird system table .
