SingleStoreDB v8.1

DROP FUNCTION

Removes a single function from the specified database, including user-defined scalar-valued functions (UDFs) and user-defined table-valued functions (TVFs).

Syntax

DROP FUNCTION [IF EXISTS] { function_name | database_name.function_name }

Remarks

  • Only one function can be removed using the DROP FUNCTION command.

  • If DROP FUNCTION is executed for a function that does not exist, the following error will occur:

    DROP FUNCTION myfunction;
ERROR 1998 (HY000): Function 'db1.myfunction' doesn't exist

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

    DROP FUNCTION IF EXISTS myfunction;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

  • This command causes implicit commits. See COMMIT for more information.

  • See the Permission Matrix for the required permission.

Examples

Dropping a Function in the Current Database

SHOW FUNCTIONS;
****

Dropping a Function in Another Database

The following example removes an existing function while connected to another database in your SingleStoreDB cluster.

USE db1;

SHOW FUNCTIONS;
****

| Functions_in_db1 | Function Type         |
+------------------+-----------------------+
| myfunction       | User Defined Function |
