Description:
Mysql successfully creates a PROCEDURE even though the PROCEDURE refers to a NON EXISTING TABLE. Shouldn't it complain that the TABLE DOES NOT EXISTS?
I get the exception ONLY WHEN I RUN THE CALL PROCEDURE. This is a risk, since TYPO will RESULT IN MAJOR PROBLEMS.

mysql> create procedure pppp () begin select * from thistabledoesnotexists; end;//
--------------
create procedure pppp () begin select * from thistabledoesnotexists; end; /*ERROR DOESN’T HAPPEN HERE, !!!*/
--------------

Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> call pppp()
    -> //
--------------
call pppp()
--------------

ERROR 1146 (42S02): Table 'test_schema.thistabledoesnotexists' doesn't exist /*ERROR HAPPENS HERE*/

How to repeat:
Just create a procedure with any non existing table or even if you have an undeclared variable it will still CREATE THE PROCEDURE. This doesn't make sense.

A missing table is a runtime error not something that should be caught during parsing.  I think this is not a bug at all.
