For queries like
    "SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PARAMETERS
      WHERE SPECIFIC_NAME='proc_name'"
and
    "SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINES
      WHERE ROUTINE_NAME='proc_name'"
there is a possibility to avoid loading of the stored procedure code
and parsing it to retrieve parameters.
If the name of the procedure/function is specified explicitly then
it is possible to filter out routines that do not match at
an early stage.
