DROP FUNCTION

Syntax

DROP FUNCTION name

Description

Will remove a user-defined function from the running MySQL server process. This does not actually delete the library file containing the function. You may add the function again at any time using the CREATE FUNCTION statement. In the current implementation, DROP FUNCTION simply removes the function from the function table within the MySQL database. This table keeps track of all active functions.
