15.7.7.10 SHOW CREATE LIBRARY Statement

SHOW CREATE LIBRARY [database_name.]library_name

Returns the text that can be used to re-create the named JavaScript library in the named database; the database defaults to the current database if one is not specified. See Section 15.1.17, “CREATE LIBRARY Statement”, for more information.

For an account other than the account which created the library, access to routine properties depends on the privileges granted to the account, as described here:

• With the SHOW_ROUTINE privilege or the global SELECT privilege, the account can see all library properties, including its definition. This means that SHOW CREATE LIBRARY prints the source code of the library, and all libraries in the Information Schema libraries table are visible to this account.

• With the CREATE ROUTINE, ALTER ROUTINE, or EXECUTE privilege granted at a scope that includes the library, the account can see all routine properties except its definition. This means that the associated row in INFORMATION_SCHEMA.LIBRARIES is visible but, SHOW CREATE LIBRARY does not print the library's source code.

Library code may contain SQL statements (known as a JavaScript SQL callout). The statements are restricted, based on the INVOKER and DEFINER security contexts of the stored program using that library. Such SQL statements follow the usual restrictions applying to stored functions and stored procedures (see Section 27.9, “Restrictions on Stored Programs”).
