You can do this:

SELECT * FROM `information_schema`.`ROUTINES` where specific_name = 'my_procedure_name' and routine_schema = 'my_schema'

..and if it exists, should get a result. However, keep in mind that on the majority of shared hosting mysql services, routines, triggers and so on are not normally allowed to be created. If it's your own server, no problem ;)

On MS SQL you can perform the following query:

if exists
(
    select name from sysobjects
    where name = 'function_name' and type = 'fn'
)
begin
    drop function function_name
end
go
