In MySQL, you can achieve sp_help with the help of SHOW CREATE command.
CASE 1 −
For table, the syntax is as follows −
SHOW CREATE TABLE yourTableName;
CASE 2 −
For stored procedure, the syntax is as follows −
SHOW CREATE PROCEDURE yourProcedureName;
Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable ( EmployeeId int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, EmployeeFirstName varchar(40) NOT NULL, EmployeeLastName varchar(40) NOT NULL, EmployeeAge int, EmployeeCountryName varchar(40), EmployeeCityName varchar(40), PRIMARY KEY(EmployeeId), UNIQUE KEY(EmployeeFirstName,EmployeeCityName) ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.97 sec)
Let us implement the above syntax for our table −
mysql> SHOW CREATE TABLE DemoTable;
This will produce the following output displaying the field names and constraints −
