Write the SQL command to execute a stored procedure named 'GetEmployeeDetails' that takes an EmployeeID parameter with the value 7.

Expected output: Correct SQL statement calling the procedure with the parameter.

Hint: Use EXEC or CALL depending on your SQL dialect.

Handle Output Parameters

Create a SQL script that executes a stored procedure with an output parameter and captures its value.

Expected output: SQL script demonstrating output parameter handling.

Hint: Declare a variable to hold the output and use appropriate syntax to receive it.

You use the EXEC statement followed by the procedure name and any parameters, for example: EXEC ProcedureName @param1 = value1.

EXEC is commonly used in SQL Server to execute stored procedures, while CALL is used in MySQL and Oracle. The syntax and parameter passing conventions differ slightly.
