DROP PROCEDURE

Removes a single stored procedure from the specified database.

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 will occur:

memsql> 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:

memsql> DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS myprocedure;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

Examples

Dropping a Procedure in the Current Database
