Stored procedures with ODBC

Hey all. I'm delving into PEAR's database abstraction library for the first time. I'm trying to get a handle on the overall use of the packages. ODBC is causing me some problems with regard to stored procedures, and I think this could carry over to Oracle stored procedures as well, but I'm not sure. Anyway, when I execute a stored procedure with ODBC, I'm just doing it like $db->query("spStored_Proc 'arg1', 'arg2', 'etc.', 'ad', 'nauseum'") fetch() does a preg_match() on the query string, and if it doesn't contain SELECT, it returns DB_OK instead of the result set. What's the best way to decide whether or not a query is supposed to return data? Thanks, B _____________________________________________________________________________ B r i a n L a l o r blalor@hcirisc.cs.binghamton.edu http://hcirisc.cs.binghamton.edu/~blalor Spam me not.
