Never mind. I'm just going to have the stored procedure run a SQL cursor, so the IWS REST API transforms the results to JSON correctly.

A while back I got slightly better performance by using JSON functions to select directly into a stored procedure INOUT parameter (as opposed to using a SQL cursor). I was trying to have my IWS REST API procedure call a stored procedure that used JSON functions to directly select into an INOUT parameter. It gave me the escape characters in the JSON string.

My project can deal with the performance of an IWS REST API procedure that calls a stored procedure using a SQL cursor. So I'm cutting my losses and going with the SQL cursor approach.

Thanks,
