Schedule and Event Internals

This section describes how the database server processes schedules and event definitions.

• How the Database Server Checks for System Events
  Events are classified according to their event type, as specified directly in the CREATE EVENT statement.
• How the Database Server Checks for Scheduled Times
  The calculation of scheduled event times is done when the database server starts, and each time a scheduled event handler completes.
• How Event Handlers are Executed
  When an event handler is triggered, a temporary internal connection is made, on which the event handler is executed.
