DROP SCHEDULES

On this page Carat arrow pointing down

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.
