Hi guys i was mailing at maria-discuss, but i think it a new feature, and want some view point from developers... check this problem: connection 1) big select... connection 2) show processlist connection 1) other query connection 2) kill connection 1 id (i take +- 1 second between show processlist and this command) connection 1) killed the problem? the kill connection 1 (KILL thread_id) killed the wrong query could we implement something like: KILL [CONNECTION | QUERY] thread_id [QUERY "some relative unique query id in this database"] the relative unique query id, could be: substr(sha1 or md5 of (thread_id + query start time),0,6) (6 hex numbers is good?) it's like a git small hash commit id, maybe we could make it more unique... but since i will not use it very often, i think a less intensive work is nice here... a global query id could add more one lock for every query... example: KILL 1 QUERY "abcdef" the "abcdef" = substr(MD5( thread id + query start time ),0,6) we could add client ip or others unique information about this query, but something that don't increase (ok just a little) the load of a show processlist / select * from information_schema thanks -- Roberto Spadim
