Description

The DROP FUNCTION statement is used to drop a stored function or a user-defined function (UDF). That is, the specified routine is removed from the server. You must have the ALTER ROUTINE privilege for the routine. If the automatic_sp_privileges server system variable is set, that privilege and EXECUTE are granted automatically to the routine creator - see Stored Routine Privileges.

IF EXISTS

The IF EXISTS clause is a MySQL/MariaDB extension. It prevents an error from occurring if the function does not exist. A NOTE is produced that can be viewed with SHOW WARNINGS.

For dropping a user-defined functions (UDF), see DROP FUNCTION UDF.
