You can obtain metadata about JavaScript stored programs in the same ways in which you can do so for SQL stored programs; see Section 27.2.3, “Stored Routine Metadata”.
Additional information relating to the MLE component which provides JavaScript stored program functionality can be obtained by checking the values of server system and status variables which this component makes available. See Section 7.5.7.2, “MLE Component Status and Session Information”, for information about these.
For information about memory usage by JavaScript stored programs, see Section 7.5.7.3, “MLE Component Memory and Thread Usage”
You can retrieve the statement that was used to create an MLE
stored routine using SHOW CREATE
FUNCTION or SHOW CREATE
PROCEDURE, as with any other MySQL stored routine.
Stored routine metadata can be retrieved by querying the
Information Schema ROUTINES table, or
by issuing SHOW FUNCTION STATUS or
SHOW PROCEDURE STATUS as
appropriate. This metadata is stored in the MySQL data dictionary,
and is persistent.
You can retrieve the statement that was used to create an MLE
JavaScript library using SHOW CREATE
LIBRARY. Information about libraries used by routines
can be found in the Information Schema
ROUTINE_LIBRARIES table, as well as
the mysql_option.option_usage table (see
Section 7.5.8.1, “Option Tracker Tables”). This metadata
is also stored in the MySQL data dictionary.
Information about the component's state in the current user
session can be acquired using the loadable function
mle_session_state(), which is
described elsewhere in this section.
