[Maria-discuss] “system user” in SHOW PROCESSLIST
Hi all, https://mariadb.com/kb/en/library/show-processlist/ ^^ The above doesn’t describe “system user” in the result of SHOW PROCESSLIST, but that’s what I observe in 10.2.21. What is the meaning of “system user” in the output of this command? Is there a list of these “special” values for the User column? Are these reserved names (i.e., no DB user should be named “system user”)? Thank you! -FG
The "system user" identifies internal tasks spawned by the server. See here... https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10330159/mysql-system-user Never tried to create a user called this so no idea if it's reserved... but not really a good idea anyway.

Hi, Rhys, Felipe, It's not reserved in any way. If you create a user named "system user", you'll see yet another "system user" row in the SHOW PROCESSLIST, but with non-empty host. That's all. On Feb 15, Rhys.Campbell@swisscom.com wrote:

I'm pretty sure, or at least I thought that MariaDB/MySQL both used the same scheme of identifying system users as differentiated from regular users via another attribute besides the name string itself. In MSSQL if you execute: USE Master
select * from sys.dm_exec_sessions
All users with a session_id ≤ 50 is a system login. Travis Runyard travisrunyard@gmail.com On Fri, Feb 15, 2019 at 12:11 AM <Rhys.Campbell@swisscom.com> wrote:

Discard what I wrote, I would take Sergei's word over mine. Travis Runyard travisrunyard@gmail.com On Fri, Feb 15, 2019 at 2:49 AM Travis Runyard <travisrunyard@gmail.com> wrote:
