15.7.7.11 SHOW CREATE PROCEDURE Statement

SHOW CREATE PROCEDURE proc_name

This statement is a MySQL extension. It returns the exact string that can be used to re-create the named stored procedure. A similar statement, SHOW CREATE FUNCTION, displays information about stored functions (see Section 15.7.7.9, “SHOW CREATE FUNCTION Statement”).

To use either statement, you must be the user named as the routine DEFINER, have the SHOW_ROUTINE privilege, have the SELECT privilege at the global level, or have the CREATE ROUTINE, ALTER ROUTINE, or EXECUTE privilege granted at a scope that includes the routine. The value displayed for the Create Procedure or Create Function field is NULL if you have only CREATE ROUTINE, ALTER ROUTINE, or EXECUTE.

character_set_client: utf8mb4
collation_connection: utf8mb4_0900_ai_ci
  Database Collation: utf8mb4_0900_ai_ci

character_set_client is the session value of the character_set_client system variable when the routine was created. collation_connection is the session value of the collation_connection system variable when the routine was created. Database Collation is the collation of the database with which the routine is associated.

For a JavaScript stored routine that was created with USING to import one or more libraries, the full list of libraries is included in the output of SHOW CREATE PROCEDURE, even for libraries listed which do not actually exist. This is true also for SHOW CREATE FUNCTION.
