parametersobject

Object containing parameter names and values - Parameter names should match those returned by getProcedureParams - Values will be automatically converted to appropriate SQL types based on their JSON type PARAMETER REQUIREMENTS: - All parameters defined by the procedure (INPUT, OUTPUT, INOUT) must be supplied, regardless of metadata flags. - Each parameter is a key-value pair where the key includes the @ prefix - Values can be strings, numbers, or booleans — use the natural type for the parameter (e.g. use 41 not "41" for numeric parameters) CANONICAL EXAMPLES: (procedure with parameters): { "catalogName": "SQL2", "schemaName": "dbo", "procedureName": "ExcelAddinTestSp", "parameters": { "@Name": "catti", "@Age": 30 } } (procedure with no parameters): { "catalogName": "SQL2", "schemaName": "dbo", "procedureName": "ExcelAddinTestSp" } Important: Omitting any defined parameter will result in an error from the data source.
