Yes, MS SQL returns an int as far as I know (all the procs I use return 
an int), but in theory it can be any type.
From my useage, the return parameter (if requested) is returned as the 
first out parameter.

Ie, from JDBC, my CallableStateme is of the form: "? = Call dbo.MyProc( 
?, ?, ? )" so I can simply use cs.getInt( 1 ); to get at that value. If 
I don't ask for the return code, then I don't receive it.
