Syntax:

DROP FUNCTION function_name

This statement drops the user-defined function (UDF) named

function_name.

To drop a function, you must have the DELETE privilege for the mysql
database. This is because DROP FUNCTION removes a row from the
mysql.func system table that records the function's name, type, and
shared library name.

Syntax:
{DESCRIBE | DESC} tbl_name [col_name | wild]

DESCRIBE provides information about the columns in a table. It is a

shortcut for SHOW COLUMNS FROM. These statements also display
information for views. (See [HELP SHOW COLUMNS].)

col_name can be a column name, or a string containing the SQL "%" and
"_" wildcard characters to obtain output only for the columns with
names matching the string. There is no need to enclose the string
within quotation marks unless it contains spaces or other special
characters.

Syntax:
EXPLAIN [explain_type] SELECT select_options

explain_type:
EXTENDED
| PARTITIONS

Or:

EXPLAIN tbl_name

The EXPLAIN statement can be used either as a way to obtain information

about how MySQL executes a statement, or as a synonym for DESCRIBE:

o When you precede a SELECT statement with the keyword EXPLAIN, MySQL
displays information from the optimizer about the query execution
plan. That is, MySQL explains how it would process the statement,
including information about how tables are joined and in which order.
EXPLAIN EXTENDED can be used to obtain additional information.
 For information about using EXPLAIN and EXPLAIN EXTENDED to obtain
query execution plan information, see
https://mariadb.com/kb/en/explain/.

o EXPLAIN PARTITIONS is useful only when examining queries involving

partitioned tables. For details, see
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/partitioning-info.html.

o EXPLAIN tbl_name is synonymous with DESCRIBE tbl_name or SHOW COLUMNS

FROM tbl_name. For information about DESCRIBE and SHOW COLUMNS, see
[HELP DESCRIBE], and [HELP SHOW COLUMNS].
