Suppose I have a stored procedure like this: 

CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.Foo (
  @Required Int,
  @Optional Int = 0
) AS ...

[download]
I know I can call the procedure via 
my $sth2 = $db->prepare('EXEC dbo.Foo ?, ?');
$sth2->execute(1,2);

[download]
or 
my $sth1 = $db->prepare('EXEC dbo.Foo ?');
$sth1->execute(1); # use the default for the second param

[download]
But is there any way to specify I want to use the default value even with the first prepared statement? So that I don't have to prepare the same procedure twice...

I can't call $sth2->execute(1) since that triggers an error (execute failed: called with 1 bind variables when 2 are needed), I can't use undef since that would translate to NULL, ...

Thanks, Jenda
XML sucks. Badly. SOAP on the other hand is the most powerfull vacuum pump ever invented.
