SHOW CREATE EVENT Syntax
This statement displays the CREATE EVENT statement needed to re-create a given event. It requires the EVENT privilege for the database from which the event is to be shown. For example (using the same event e_daily defined and then altered in , "SHOW EVENTS Syntax"):
mysql> SHOW CREATE EVENT test.e_daily\G *************************** 1. row *************************** Event: e_daily sql_mode: time_zone: SYSTEM Create Event: CREATE EVENT `e_daily` ON SCHEDULE EVERY 1 DAY STARTS CURRENT_TIMESTAMP + INTERVAL 6 HOUR ON COMPLETION NOT PRESERVE ENABLE COMMENT 'Saves total number of sessions then clears the table each day' DO BEGIN INSERT INTO site_activity.totals (time, total) SELECT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, COUNT(*) FROM site_activity.sessions; DELETE FROM site_activity.sessions; END character_set_client: latin1 collation_connection: latin1_swedish_ci Database Collation: latin1_swedish_ci
character-set-client is the session value of the character_set_client system variable when the event was created. collation_connection is the session value of the collation_connection system variable when the event was created. Database Collation is the collation of the database with which the event is associated.
Note that the output reflects the current status of the event (ENABLE) rather than the status with which it was created.
