MySQL Error 3623: Cannot Drop Dynamic UDF
Description
This error occurs when a `DROP FUNCTION` statement is attempted on a User-Defined Function (UDF) that was loaded dynamically from a shared library. MySQL prevents direct dropping of dynamically registered UDFs to ensure system stability and prevent unintended operational issues.
Error Message

Known Causes
3 known causesAttempting to Drop Dynamic UDF
The `DROP FUNCTION` command was executed against a UDF that was loaded using the `SONAME` clause, indicating it's a dynamically registered function.
Misidentifying UDF Type
The user tried to drop a UDF without realizing it was dynamically loaded, assuming it was a standard or statically linked function.
MySQL System Restriction
MySQL design restricts dropping dynamically loaded UDFs via `DROP FUNCTION` to prevent potential instability and maintain the integrity of loaded libraries.
