# SHOW FUNCTION STATUS

## Syntax

```sql
SHOW FUNCTION STATUS
    [LIKE 'pattern' | WHERE expr]
```

## Description

This statement is similar to [SHOW PROCEDURE STATUS](https://mariadb.com/docs/server/reference/sql-statements/administrative-sql-statements/show/show-procedure-status) but for [stored functions](https://mariadb.com/docs/server/server-usage/stored-routines/stored-functions).

The LIKE clause, if present on its own, indicates which function names to match.

The `WHERE` and `LIKE` clauses can be given to select rows using more general conditions, as discussed in [Extended SHOW](https://mariadb.com/docs/server/reference/sql-statements/administrative-sql-statements/show/extended-show).

The [information\_schema.ROUTINES](https://mariadb.com/docs/server/reference/system-tables/information-schema/information-schema-tables/information-schema-routines-table) table contains more detailed information.

## Examples

Showing all stored functions:

```sql
SHOW FUNCTION STATUS\G
*************************** 1. row ***************************
                  Db: test
                Name: VatCents
                Type: FUNCTION
             Definer: root@localhost
            Modified: 2013-06-01 12:40:31
             Created: 2013-06-01 12:40:31
       Security_type: DEFINER
             Comment: 
character_set_client: utf8
collation_connection: utf8_general_ci
  Database Collation: latin1_swedish_ci
```

Stored functions whose name starts with 'V':

```sql
SHOW FUNCTION STATUS LIKE 'V%' \G
*************************** 1. row ***************************
                  Db: test
                Name: VatCents

             Comment: 
character_set_client: utf8
collation_connection: utf8_general_ci
  Database Collation: latin1_swedish_ci
```

Stored functions with a security type of 'DEFINER':

```sql
SHOW FUNCTION STATUS WHERE Security_type LIKE 'DEFINER' \G
*************************** 1. row ***************************
                  Db: test
                Name: VatCents
