15.1.34 DROP TRIGGER Statement

DROP TRIGGER [IF EXISTS] [schema_name.]trigger_name

This statement drops a trigger. The schema (database) name is optional. If the schema is omitted, the trigger is dropped from the default schema. DROP TRIGGER requires the TRIGGER privilege for the table associated with the trigger.

Use IF EXISTS to prevent an error from occurring for a trigger that does not exist. ANOTE is generated for a nonexistent trigger when using IF EXISTS. SeeSection 15.7.7.42, “SHOW WARNINGS Statement”.

Triggers for a table are also dropped if you drop the table.
