Drop a MySQL Table after x hours?
You need to create event to drop table after x hours. The syntax is as follows −
CREATE EVENT yourEventName ON SCHEDULE AT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP + INTERVAL x HOUR DO DROP TABLE IF EXISTS yourTableName;
Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable ( StudentId int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, StudnetFirstName varchar(20), StudentLastName varchar(20), StudnetAge int ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.52 sec)
Now implement the above event in order to drop table after 2 hours −
mysql> CREATE EVENT drop_table_event_after2HoursDemo ON SCHEDULE AT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP + INTERVAL 2 HOUR DO DROP TABLE IF EXISTS DemoTable; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.17 sec)
Now the table ‘DemoTable’ will drop after 2 hours.
