MySQL 9.2 Reference Manual  /  ...  /  SHOW CREATE EVENT Statement

15.7.7.8 SHOW CREATE EVENT Statement

Press CTRL+C to copy
SHOW CREATE EVENT event_name

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 Section 15.7.7.20, “SHOW EVENTS Statement”):

Press CTRL+C to copy
mysql> SHOW CREATE EVENT myschema.e_daily\G *************************** 1. row *************************** Event: e_daily sql_mode: ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY,STRICT_TRANS_TABLES, NO_ZERO_IN_DATE,NO_ZERO_DATE, ERROR_FOR_DIVISION_BY_ZERO, NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION time_zone: SYSTEM Create Event: CREATE DEFINER=`jon`@`ghidora` 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: utf8mb4 collation_connection: utf8mb4_0900_ai_ci Database Collation: utf8mb4_0900_ai_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.

The output reflects the current status of the event (ENABLE) rather than the status with which it was created.
