Execute a User-Defined Function and Process Return Code (OLE DB)
Applies to: 
SQL Server
Azure SQL Database
Azure SQL Managed Instance
Azure Synapse Analytics
Analytics Platform System (PDW)
In this example, a user-defined function is executed, and the return code is printed. This sample is not supported on IA64.
This sample uses the oledbtest database as an example. Please substitute it with any SQL Server database you have.
Important
When possible, use Windows Authentication. If Windows Authentication is not available, prompt users to enter their credentials at run time. Avoid storing credentials in a file. If you must persist credentials, you should encrypt them with the Win32 crypto API.
Example
Execute the first ( Transact-SQL) code listing to create the stored procedure used by the application.
Compile with ole32.lib oleaut32.lib and execute the second (C++) code listing. This application connects to your computer's default SQL Server instance. On some Windows operating systems, you will need to change (localhost) or (local) to the name of your SQL Server instance. To connect to a named instance, change the connection string from L"(local)" to L"(local)\\name" , where name is the named instance. By default, SQL Server Express installs to a named instance. Make sure your INCLUDE environment variable includes the directory that contains msoledbsql.h.
Execute the third ( Transact-SQL) code listing to delete the stored procedure used by the application.
