SHOW THREADS [ OPTION columns=width[,format=sphinxql][,format=all] ]

SHOW THREADS is an SQL statement that lists all threads information about what they are doing at the moment.

It returns a table with following columns:

Tid: id assigned to the thread by the kernel
Name: thread name, you can also see this name in top, htop, ps and other unix tools to monitor thread's statistics
Proto: connection protocol, possible values are sphinx, mysql, http, ssl, compressed and replication or combination (e.g. http,ssl or compressed,mysql)
State: thread state, possible values are handshake, net_read, net_write, query, net_idle
Host: ip:port of the client
ConnID: connection id (starting from 0)
Time: current job's duration (in seconds, with microsecond precision) or uptime of the thread in case of format=all when the thread is idling
Work time: uptime of the thread
Work time CPU: effective CPU time (requires --cpustats)
Jobs done: how many jobs this thread has completed
Last job took: last job's duration
In idle: whether the thread is idling now or when it was last idling
Info: information about the query, can have multiple queries in case the query is against a distributed index or a real-time index

          Info: show threads

Info column shows:

raw text of queries run through Manticore SQL interface
full text syntax, comments and data size for queries run via internal Manticore binary protocol (e.g. from a remote Manticore instance)

Maximum width of the Info column can be limited by specifying the columns=N option (notice the second row in the example table).

By default, queries are shown in their original format. When the format=sphinxql option is specified, the queries will be shown in SQL format regardless of protocol through which they were executed.

format=all displays all threads, otherwise idling threads are hidden.

SHOW WARNINGS

SHOW WARNINGS statement can be used to retrieve the warning produced by the latest query. The error message will be returned along with the query itself:

mysql> SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE MATCH('@@title hello') \G
ERROR 1064 (42000): index test1: syntax error, unexpected TOK_FIELDLIMIT
near '@title hello'
mysql> SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE MATCH('@title -hello') \G
ERROR 1064 (42000): index test1: query is non-computable (single NOT operator)
mysql> SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE MATCH('"test doc"/3') \G

SHOW THREADS SHOW VARIABLES

SHOW [{GLOBAL | SESSION}] VARIABLES [WHERE variable_name='xxx' | LIKE 'pattern']

It returns the current values of a few server-wide variables. Also, support for GLOBAL and SESSION clauses was added.

mysql> SHOW GLOBAL VARIABLES;
+--------------------------+-----------+
| Variable_name            | Value     |
+--------------------------+-----------+
| autocommit               | 1         |
| collation_connection     | libc_ci   |
| query_log_format         | sphinxql  |
| log_level                | info      |

| last_insert_id           | 123, 200  |
+--------------------------+-----------+
9 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Support for WHERE variable_name clause was added, to help certain connectors.

SHOW WARNINGS SHOW COLLATION

SHOW COLLATION

This is currently a placeholder query that does nothing and reports success. That is in order to keep compatibility with frameworks and connectors that automatically execute this statement.

mysql> SHOW COLLATION;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
