Information Schema PROCESSLIST Table

The Information Schema PROCESSLIST table contains information about running threads.

Similar information can also be returned with the SHOW [FULL] PROCESSLIST statement, or the mysqladmin processlist command.

It contains the following columns:

Column Description Added
ID Connection identifier.
USER MariaDB User.
HOST Connecting host.
DB Default database, or NULL if none.
COMMAND Type of command running, corresponding to the Com_ status variables. See Thread Command Values.
TIME Seconds that the thread has been in its current state.
STATE Current state of the thread. See Thread States.
INFO Statement the thread is executing, or NULL if none.
TIME_MS Time in milliseconds with microsecond precision that the thread has been in its current state (see more). MariaDB 5.1
STAGE The stage the process is currently in. MariaDB 5.3
MAX_STAGE The maximum number of stages. MariaDB 5.3
PROGRESS The progress of the process within the current stage (0-100%). MariaDB 5.3
MEMORY_USED Memory in bytes used by the thread. MariaDB 10.0.1
EXAMINED_ROWS Rows examined by the thread. Only updated by UPDATE, DELETE, and similar statements. For SELECT and other statements, the value remains zero. MariaDB 10.0.1
QUERY_ID Query ID. MariaDB 10.0.5
INFO_BINARY Binary data information MariaDB 10.1.5

Note that as a difference to MySQL, in MariaDB the TIME column (and also the TIME_MS column) are not affected by any setting of @TIMESTAMP. This means that it can be reliably used also for threads that change @TIMESTAMP (such as the replication SQL thread). See also MySQL Bug #22047.

As a consequence of this, the TIME column of SHOW FULL PROCESSLIST and INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PROCESSLIST can not be used to determine if a slave is lagging behind. For this, use instead the Seconds_Behind_Master column in the output of SHOW SLAVE STATUS.

Note that the PROGRESS field from the information schema, and the PROGRESS field from SHOW PROCESSLIST display different results. SHOW PROCESSLIST shows the total progress, while the information schema shows the progress for the current stage only.. To retrieve a similar "total" Progress value from information_schema.PROCESSLIST as the one from SHOW PROCESSLIST, use

SELECT CASE WHEN Max_Stage < 2 THEN Progress ELSE (Stage-1)/Max_Stage*100+Progress/Max_Stage END 
  AS Progress FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PROCESSLIST;
