MySQL Error 1576: Event DDL Recursion Forbidden
Description
This error occurs when a MySQL `EVENT` attempts to execute Data Definition Language (DDL) statements that modify other `EVENT`s (or itself) within its own body. MySQL forbids this recursive behavior to prevent infinite loops, unpredictable system state, and ensure stability.
Error Message
Recursion of EVENT DDL statements is forbidden when body is present
Known Causes
3 known causesDirect Event DDL Execution
An `EVENT`'s `DO` clause directly includes `CREATE EVENT`, `ALTER EVENT`, or `DROP EVENT` statements.
Indirect DDL via Stored Routines
An `EVENT` executes a stored procedure or function that subsequently attempts `EVENT` DDL operations.
Recursive Event Chains
A sequence of `EVENT`s is configured such that one event's DDL operation triggers another, leading to a forbidden recursive loop.
