DROP FUNCTION

Synopsis

DROP FUNCTION [IF EXISTS] function

Use this statement to delete a user-defined function. The IF EXISTS keyword prevents error messages when the function doesn’t exist. Instead, a note will be generated, which can be displayed afterward by executing the SHOW WARNINGS statement. This statement requires the ALTER ROUTINE privilege for the function given, which is automatically granted to the creator of the function.
