The ROUTINES table provides information about
stored routines (both procedures and functions). The
ROUTINES table does not include user-defined
functions (UDFs) at this time.
The column named “mysql.proc name”
indicates the mysql.proc table column that
corresponds to the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINES
table column, if any.

Notes:
MySQL calculates EXTERNAL_LANGUAGE thus:
If mysql.proc.language='SQL',
EXTERNAL_LANGUAGE is
NULL
Otherwise, EXTERNAL_LANGUAGE is what is
in mysql.proc.language. However, we do
not have external languages yet, so it is always
NULL.
