DROP EVENT

Remove a scheduled event from the server. This command stops the event from executing and deletes its definition from the system tables.

Syntax

Description

This statement drops the event named event_name. The event immediately ceases being active, and is deleted completely from the server.

If the event does not exist, the errorERROR 1517 (HY000): Unknown event 'event_name' results. You can override this and cause the statement to generate a NOTE for non-existent events instead by usingIF EXISTS. See .

This statement requires the privilege.

Examples
