hard📝 Application Q8 of 15
SQL - Stored Procedures and Functions
You want to create a stored procedure that accepts a number, doubles it, and returns the doubled value using parameters. Which parameter mode should you use and why?
AIN, because it passes the value and returns the result automatically
BINOUT, because it allows passing a value in and returning the modified value
COUT, because it only passes the value into the procedure
DIN, because it allows modifying the input parameter directly
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Understand parameter modes

    IN passes value in, OUT returns value, INOUT does both.
  2. Step 2: Requirement analysis

    Procedure must accept a value and return the doubled value via parameters.
  3. Step 3: Choose correct mode

    INOUT allows input and output through the same parameter, suitable for doubling.
  4. Final Answer:

    INOUT, because it allows passing a value in and returning the modified value -> Option B
  5. Quick Check:

    INOUT supports input and output [OK]
Quick Trick: INOUT passes and returns value [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Assuming IN parameters can return values
  • Confusing OUT as input parameter
  • Thinking IN parameters can be modified directly
