MySQL :: MySQL 8.0 Reference Manual :: 27.4.3 Event Syntax (original) (raw)

version 8.0

MySQL provides several SQL statements for working with scheduled events:

New events are defined using the CREATE EVENT statement. See Section 15.1.13, “CREATE EVENT Statement”.
The definition of an existing event can be changed by means of the ALTER EVENT statement. SeeSection 15.1.3, “ALTER EVENT Statement”.
When a scheduled event is no longer wanted or needed, it can be deleted from the server by its definer using theDROP EVENT statement. SeeSection 15.1.25, “DROP EVENT Statement”. Whether an event persists past the end of its schedule also depends on its ON COMPLETION clause, if it has one. SeeSection 15.1.13, “CREATE EVENT Statement”.
An event can be dropped by any user having theEVENT privilege for the database on which the event is defined. SeeSection 27.4.6, “The Event Scheduler and MySQL Privileges”.
