from the client I get : "200", "surabhi", "10"
now i have to make a call to the stored procedure using the above received

will not the "200" be converted to a valid integer before saving into the 
database ..and same with the smallint values.

That wasn't the error you reported. You reported a problem with storing "" which not only isn't a number, it isn't even text. Double-quoting indicates it's a name (i.e. an identifier - a table name or similar).

So - this suggests some questions:
1. Do you know what data-types the client is providing?
2. What validation/checking do you do on the client-supplied data?
3. How are you building your query - via Perl's DBI system, PHP's PEAR:DB classes, JDBC?
