MySQL stored procedure to execute SHOW CREATE TABLE?

To execute SHOW CREATE TABLE in a stored procedure, use SHOW CREATE TABLE. Let us first create a table −

mysql> create table DemoTable2011
   -> (
   -> StudentId int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
   -> StudentName varchar(20),
   -> StudentAge int,
   -> StudentCountryName varchar(20),
   -> PRIMARY KEY(StudentId)
   -> );
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.80 sec)

Following is the stored procedure executing SHOW CREATE TABLE −

mysql> delimiter //
mysql> create procedure test_show_create_demo(table_name varchar(100))
   -> begin
   -> set @query=concat("SHOW CREATE TABLE ",table_name);
   -> prepare st from @query;
   -> execute st;
   -> end
   -> //
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.22 sec)

mysql> delimiter ;

Call the stored procedure using CALL command −

mysql> call test_show_create_demo('DemoTable2011');

This will produce the following output −
