[DB-SIG] create procedure / callproc question

[Anthony Tuininga]

You need to do the following:

cursor.callproc("pump1", 1)

This isn't too obvious from the DB-API documentation but it does make
sense once you see one example... :-)

You can also use

cursor.execute("""
    begin
      pump1(1);
    end;""")

but that one is Oracle specific.
