10.14 Examining Server Thread (Process) Information

To ascertain what your MySQL server is doing, it can be helpful to examine the process list, which indicates the operations currently being performed by the set of threads executing within the server. For example:

mysql> SHOW PROCESSLIST\G*************************** 1. row ***************************     Id: 5   User: event_scheduler   Host: localhost     db: NULLCommand: Daemon   Time: 2756681  State: Waiting on empty queue   Info: NULL*************************** 2. row ***************************     Id: 20   User: me   Host: localhost:52943     db: testCommand: Query   Time: 0  State: starting   Info: SHOW PROCESSLIST

Threads can be killed with theKILL statement. SeeSection 15.7.8.4, “KILL Statement”.
