### 13.1.30 DROP SERVER Statement

[]()

```
DROP SERVER [ IF EXISTS ] server_name
```

 Drops the server definition for the server named `*`server_name`*`. The corresponding row in the `mysql.servers` table is deleted. This statement requires the [`SUPER`](privileges-provided.html#priv_super) privilege.

 Dropping a server for a table does not affect any `FEDERATED` tables that used this connection information when they were created. See [Section 13.1.18, “CREATE SERVER Statement”](create-server.html).

`DROP SERVER` causes an implicit commit. See [Section 13.3.3, “Statements That Cause an Implicit Commit”](implicit-commit.html).

`DROP SERVER` is not written to the binary log, regardless of the logging format that is in use.
