DROP PROCEDURE

Synopsis

DROP PROCEDURE [IF EXISTS] procedure

This statement deletes a stored procedure. The IF EXISTS keyword prevents error messages when the stored procedure 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 stored procedure given, which is automatically granted to the creator of the stored procedure.
