Many posts on SO, and the MySQL documentation, describe how to implement MySQL events, but I am just interested in their purpose.

What is a “MySQL event”? What is its purpose? How is it different from a “job scheduler”?

MySQL events offer an alternative to
scheduled tasksandcron jobs.Events can be used to create backups, delete stale records, aggregate data for reports, and so on. Unlike standard triggers which execute given a certain condition, an event is an object that is triggered by the passage of time and is sometimes referred to as a temporal trigger.
