phpMyAdmin can't find syntax for Create EVENT - mysql

Question

-mysql 5.6.2
-GLOBAL event_scheduler = ON
Using phpMyAdmin client on MYSQL database. I'm not setting a Delimiter, as I know you can't in this statement. If I remove the last ';', it fails with 'error near END.' In below format, fails with:
1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 64

Answer 1

Your understanding to the contrary notwithstanding, you need to set the delimiter. Do this.
DELIMITER $$
CREATE EVENT airshipmentsnotinlong
ON SCHEDULE every 1 HOUR
ON COMPLETION PRESERVE
DO
BEGIN
...your event's INSERT statement here including the closing semicolon ...
END $$
DELIMITER ;
In PHPMyAdmin, instead of wrapping your definition in DELIMITER $$ / DELIMITER ; you set the delimiter to something besides ; in the box right below the query. You then terminate your definition with that same delimiter, as I have shown in END$$.
The error message you're getting is protesting the missing END, which MySQL doesn't see because it comes after the closing delimiter.
