Re: How to: Include identifier with a query

I looked into this years ago for something I was doing, but don't remember looking for a solution in MySQL. Just wanted to share that.. um.. I think it was with MS SQL Server.. there was a way to put a tag in your DSN connection string that would show up on the process list. I don't know if that helps, but just to add to the list of "how *some* people do it". Good luck! -TG ----- Original Message ----- From: listread <listread@cze.com> To: php-db@lists.php.net Date: Mon, 02 Nov 2009 07:16:23 -0600 Subject: [PHP-DB] How to: Include identifier with a query > Greetings! > > We are searching for names that might or might not exist in a 4 million > row db and have to do a lot of fuzzy searches that often don't return > results. > > I would like the use to have the option of killing a query process. > Since we are apt to have several queries running KILL QUERY doesn't seem > to work.
