示例

mysql> Create table event_messages(ID INT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT, MESSAGE VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL, Generated_at DATETIME NOT NULL);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.61 sec)

以下查询将创建一个没有使用ON COMPLETION PRESERVE的事件，因此它不会在 SHOW EVENTS FROM db_name 查询中显示出来。

mysql> CREATE EVENT testing_event_without_Preserves ON SCHEDULE AT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP DO INSERT INTO event_messages(message,generated_at) Values('Without Preserve',NOW());
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> Select * from event_messages;
+----+------------------+---------------------+
| ID | MESSAGE        | Generated_at        |
+----+------------------+---------------------+
| 1  | Without Preserve | 2017-11-22 20:32:13 |
+----+------------------+---------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
