MySQL SHOW EVENTS Tutorial

In MySQL, the SHOW EVENTS statement is used to display event information for databases. Here's a basic guide on how to use it.

Syntax:

SHOW EVENTS [FROM db_name] [LIKE 'pattern' | WHERE expr];

Where:

  • db_name: The name of the database. If not specified, the statement shows events for the default database.
  • 'pattern': A pattern to filter the events. The % character can be used as a wildcard.
  • expr: An expression to filter the events.

View All Events in the Current Database

To display all events in the current database, you can use the SHOW EVENTS statement without any parameters:

SHOW EVENTS;

This will return a result set with the following columns:

  • Db: The name of the database.
  • Name: The name of the event.
  • Definer: The account of the user who created the event.
  • Time zone: The time zone of the event.
  • Type: The type of the schedule.
  • Execute At: The next execution time of the event.
  • Interval Value: The interval value of the schedule.
  • Interval Field: The interval field of the schedule.
  • Starts: The start time of the event.
  • Ends: The end time of the event.
  • Status: The status of the event.
  • Originator: The server ID of the event.
  • character_set_client: The character set in use when the event was created.
  • collation_connection: The collation_connection value when the event was created.
  • Database Collation: The collation of the database when the event was created.

View All Events in a Specific Database

To display all events in a specific database, you can use the SHOW EVENTS FROM statement:

SHOW EVENTS FROM database_name;

Replace database_name with the name of the database.

View Events that Match a Pattern

To display events that match a pattern, you can use the LIKE clause:

SHOW EVENTS LIKE '%pattern%';

Replace pattern with the pattern you want to match. The % character is a wildcard that matches any number of characters.

View Events that Satisfy a Condition

To display events that satisfy a certain condition, you can use the WHERE clause:

SHOW EVENTS WHERE Status = 'ENABLED';

This will display only the events that are enabled.

Please note that you need to have the EVENT privilege for the database to view its events. If you have the SHOW DATABASES privilege, you can query event information from the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.EVENTS table.
