To display the description of a stored procedure, following is the syntax −
SHOW CREATE PROCEDURE yourProcedureName();
Let us first create a stored procedure −
mysql> DELIMITER // mysql> CREATE PROCEDURE sample_Procedure() BEGIN SELECT "HELLO MYSQL!!!!"; END // Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.18 sec) mysql> DELIMITER ;
Call stored procedure using CALL command.
mysql> call sample_Procedure();
This will produce the following output −
+-----------------+ | HELLO MYSQL!!!! | +-----------------+ | HELLO MYSQL!!!! | +-----------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)
Following is the query to display the description of MySQL stored procedure created above −
mysql> show create procedure sample_Procedure;
This will produce the following output −
+------------------+--------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+----------------------+----------------------+--------------------+ | Procedure | sql_mode | Create Procedure | character_set_client | collation_connection | Database Collation | +------------------+--------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+----------------------+----------------------+--------------------+ | sample_Procedure | STRICT_TRANS_TABLES,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION | CREATE DEFINER=`root`@`%` PROCEDURE `sample_Procedure`() BEGIN SELECT "HELLO MYSQL!!!!"; END | utf8 | utf8_general_ci | utf8_unicode_ci | +------------------+--------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+----------------------+----------------------+--------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
