+    <title>Calling stored procedures with IN and OUT parameters</title>
+    <para>
+     The stored procedure match_animal in the following example accepts
+     three different parameters:
+     <orderedlist>
+      <listitem>
+       <para>
+        an input (IN) parameter that accepts the name of the first animal as
+        input
+       </para>
+      </listitem>
+      <listitem>
+       <para>
+        an input-output (INOUT) parameter that accepts the name of the second
+        animal as input and returns the string <literal>TRUE</literal> if an
+        animal in the database matches that name
+       </para>
+      </listitem>
+      <listitem>
+       <para>
+        an output (OUT) parameter that returns the sum of the weight of the
+        two identified animals
+       </para>
+      </listitem>
+     </orderedlist>
+     In addition, the stored procedure returns a result set consisting of the
+     animals listed in alphabetic order starting at the animal corresponding
+     to the input value of the first parameter and ending at the animal
+     corresponding to the input value of the second parameter.
+    </para>
