Difference detween execute() and executeUpdate()..?

[Prashant Neginahal]

Hi All,

I am executing a sybase stored procedure from Java. I am explicitly raising an error in sybase stored proc using 'raiseerror @ERRORCODE, @ERRORMSG'. But if I execute this using callablestmt.execute() I am NOT getting any SQLException, however if I execute using callablestmt.executeUpdate() then i will get SQLException with error code and error message whatever i had given in the stored proc.

Please somebody help in undrastanding difference between these two.

Thanks and Regards,
Prashant
