The CREATE DBEVENT statement defines a database event.
Syntax

[EXEC SQL] CREATE DBEVENT [schema.]event_name
event_name
Identifies the event. The event_name must be a valid object name.
Description

Database events can be registered or raised by any session, provided that the owner has granted the required permission (raise or register) to the session's user, group, or role identifier, or to public. Only the user, group, or role that created a database event can drop that database event.
Usage in OpenAPI, ODBC, JDBC, .NET
In ODBC, JDBC, and .NET, events can be created in query statements, but other interfaces must be used to catch the event being created.
