MySQL provides several SQL statements for working with scheduled events:
New events are defined using the CREATE EVENT
statement. See Section 13.1.13, “CREATE EVENT Statement”.
The definition of an existing event can be changed by means of the ALTER EVENT
statement. See Section 13.1.3, “ALTER EVENT Statement”.
When a scheduled event is no longer wanted or needed, it can be deleted from the server by its definer using the DROP EVENT
statement. See Section 13.1.25, “DROP EVENT Statement”. Whether an event persists past the end of its schedule also depends on its ON COMPLETION
clause, if it has one. See Section 13.1.13, “CREATE EVENT Statement”.
An event can be dropped by any user having the EVENT
privilege for the database on which the event is defined. See Section 25.4.6, “The Event Scheduler and MySQL Privileges”.
