DROP EVENT

Synopsis

DROP EVENT [IF EXISTS] event

This statement deletes an event. The IF EXISTS keyword prevents error messages when the event doesn’t exist. Instead, a note will be generated, which can be displayed afterward by executing the SHOW WARNINGS statement. As of version 5.1.12 of MySQL, this statement requires the EVENT privilege.
