DROP PROCEDURE

Syntax

DROP PROCEDURE [IF EXISTS] { procedure_name | database_name.procedure_name }

Remarks

• Only one stored procedure can be removed using the DROP PROCEDURE command.

• If DROP PROCEDURE is executed for a procedure that does not exist, the following error occurs:

  SQL

  Copy

  DROP PROCEDURE myprocedure;

  ERROR 1998 (HY000): Function 'db1.myprocedure' doesn't exist

• However, if the IF EXISTS condition is used and the procedure does not exist, no error will occur:

  SQL

  Copy

  DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS myprocedure;

  Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

• This command causes implicit commits. Refer to COMMIT for more information.

• Refer to the Permissions Matrix for the required permissions.
