Than I don't understand. If CallableStatement can call any SQL
statement, than what to care about? If CallableStatement is property
of StoredProc object, or something, than just tell the truth to
driver users that they can't get resultset from stored procedures in
IB/FB. They need to make select (from table, view or SP) to get
resultset.

I'm lost now. I gave example of IBStoredProc component in IBX.
There is no any problems with SP or not. People uses IBStoredProc
to Execute procedure, they use IBQuery to call EXECUTE PROCEDURE,
OR to call SELECT * FROM PROCEDURE. Without any need of IBX to know
does select calls procedure or not.

??? JDBC can't execute usual SQL SELECT statement without some extention???
