SHOW EVENTS

List scheduled events. View metadata such as the event name, schedule, status, and timing for events in a database.

Syntax

SHOW EVENTS [{FROM | IN} schema_name]
    [LIKE 'pattern' | WHERE expr]

Description

Shows information about Event Manager events (created with CREATE EVENT). Requires the EVENT privilege. Without any arguments, SHOW EVENTS lists all of the events in the current schema:

SELECT CURRENT_USER(), SCHEMA();
+----------------+----------+
| CURRENT_USER() | SCHEMA() |
+----------------+----------+
| jon@ghidora    | myschema |
+----------------+----------+

To see the event action, use SHOW CREATE EVENT instead, or look at the information_schema.EVENTS table.

To see events for a specific schema, use the FROM clause. For example, to see events for the test schema, use the following statement:

SHOW EVENTS FROM test;

The LIKE clause, if present, indicates which event names to match. The WHERE clause can be given to select rows using more general conditions, as discussed in Extended Show.
