/** is used to register Out-Parameters for stored procedures.


    <p>
    SDBC provides a stored procedure SQL escape that allows stored procedures
    to be called in a standard way for all RDBMSs. This escape syntax has one
    form that includes a result parameter and one that does not. If used, the
    result parameter must be registered as an OUT parameter. The other parameters
    can be used for input, output, or both. Parameters are referred to sequentially,
    by number. The first parameter is 1.
    </p>

    /** registers the designated output parameter.  This version of
        the method
        <member scope="com::sun::star::sdbc">XOutParameters::registerOutParameter()</member>
        should be used for a user-named or REF output parameter. Examples
        of user-named types include: STRUCT, DISTINCT, OBJECT, and named array
        types.


        <p>
        Before executing a stored procedure call, you must explicitly
        call
        <member scope="com::sun::star::sdbc">XOutParameters::registerOutParameter()</member>
        to register the type from
        <type scope="com::sun::star::sdbc">DataType</type>
        for each OUT parameter.
        <br/>
        For a user-named parameter the fully-qualified SQL type name of the
        parameter should also be given, while a REF parameter requires that the
        fully-qualified type name of the referenced type be given.
        An SDBC driver that does not need the type code and type name information
        may ignore it. To be portable, however, applications should always provide
        these values for user-named and REF parameters.
        </p>
        <p>Although it is intended for user-named and REF parameters,
        this method may be used to register a parameter of any SDBC type.
        If the parameter does not have a user-named or REF type, the
        typeName parameter is ignored.
        </p>
        <p>
        <b>Note:</b> When reading the value of an out parameter, you
        must use the
        <code>getXXX</code>
        method whose type XXX corresponds to the
        parameter's registered SQL type.
