Question

I used a loop in my php script to run insert queries into my db. The loop was looping thousand times. I stop my php script while it was till running. Nevertheless, my db table keeps on getting populated continously. I guess that there must be a queue. but this is only a guess. So I am wondering if I can stop all the pending queries from being executed? Also I am wondering if it is possible to see that queue somewhere? Thank you in advance for your replies. Cheers. Marc.

Answer 1

There is no queue, unless you were using INSERT DELAYED.

You can kill the process that is inserting the data like this:

Run SHOW PROCESSLIST to find the id of the connecton you want to kill

Then run KILL CONNECTION <thread_id> to kill that connection.
