The DROP SCHEDULES statement can be used to remove backup schedules.
Warning:
DROP SCHEDULE does not cancel any in-progress jobs started by the schedule. Before you drop a schedule, cancel any in-progress jobs first, as you will not be able to look up the job ID once the schedule is dropped.
Required privileges
Only members of the admin role can drop a schedule. By default, the root user belongs to the admin role.
Synopsis
DROP SCHEDULES <selectclause>
select clause: select statement returning schedule id to pause.
DROP SCHEDULE <scheduleID>
Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|

A selection query that returns id(s) to drop. |

Drop multiple schedules
To drop multiple schedules, nest a SELECT clause that retrieves id(s) inside the DROP SCHEDULES statement:

DROP SCHEDULES 4
In this example, all schedules with the label schedule_database are dropped.
