mysql show processlist state

这个命令中最关键的就是state列，mysql列出的状态主要有以下几种：

　　Checking table
　正在检查数据表（这是自动的）。
　Closing tables
　正在将表中修改的数据刷新到磁盘中，同时正在关闭已经用完的表。这是一个很快的操作，如果不是这样的话，就应该确认磁盘空间是否已经满了或者磁盘是否正处于重负中。
　Connect Out
　复制从服务器正在连接主服务器。
　Copying to tmp table on disk
　由于临时结果集大于tmp_table_size，正在将临时表从内存存储转为磁盘存储以此节省内存。
　Creating tmp table
　正在创建临时表以存放部分查询结果。
　deleting from main table
　服务器正在执行多表删除中的第一部分，刚删除第一个表。
　deleting from reference tables
　服务器正在执行多表删除中的第二部分，正在删除表的记录。
　Flushing tables
　正在执行FLUSH TABLES，等待其他线程关闭数据表。
　Killed
　发送了一个kill请求给某线程，那么这个线程将会检查kill标志位，同时会放弃下一个kill请求。MySQL会在每次的主循环中检查kill标志位，不过有些情况下该线程可能会过一小段才能死掉。如果该线程程被其他线程锁住了，那么kill请求会在锁释放时马上生效。
　Locked
　被其他查询锁住了。
　Sending data
　正在处理SELECT查询的记录，同时正在把结果发送给客户端。
　Sorting for group
　正在为GROUP BY做排序。
　Sorting for order
　正在为ORDER BY做排序。
　Opening tables
　这个过程应该会很快，除非受到其他因素的干扰。例如，在执ALTER TABLE或LOCK TABLE语句行完以前，数据表无法被其他线程打开。正尝试打开一个表。
　Removing duplicates
　正在执行一个SELECT DISTINCT方式的查询，但是MySQL无法在前一个阶段优化掉那些重复的记录。因此，MySQL需要再次去掉重复的记录，然后再把结果发送给客户端。
　Reopen table
　获得了对一个表的锁，但是必须在表结构修改之后才能获得这个锁。已经释放锁，关闭数据表，正尝试重新打开数据表。
　Repair by sorting
　修复指令正在排序以创建索引。
　Repair with keycache
　修复指令正在利用索引缓存一个一个地创建新索引。它会比Repair by sorting慢些。
　Searching rows for update
　正在讲符合条件的记录找出来以备更新。它必须在UPDATE要修改相关的记录之前就完成了。
　Sleeping
　正在等待客户端发送新请求.
　System lock
　正在等待取得一个外部的系统锁。如果当前没有运行多个mysqld服务器同时请求同一个表，那么可以通过增加--skip-external-locking参数来禁止外部系统锁。
　Upgrading lock
　INSERT DELAYED正在尝试取得一个锁表以插入新记录。
　Updating
　正在搜索匹配的记录，并且修改它们。
　User Lock
　正在等待GET_LOCK()。
　Waiting for tables
　该线程得到通知，数据表结构已经被修改了，需要重新打开数据表以取得新的结构。然后，为了能的重新打开数据表，必须等到所有其他线程关闭这个表。以下几种情况下会产生这个通知：FLUSH TABLES tbl_name, ALTER TABLE, RENAME TABLE, REPAIR TABLE, ANALYZE TABLE,或OPTIMIZE TABLE。
　waiting for handler insert
　INSERT DELAYED已经处理完了所有待处理的插入操作，正在等待新的请求。
　大部分状态对应很快的操作，只要有一个线程保持同一个状态好几秒钟，那么可能是有问题发生了，需要检查一下。
　还有其他的状态没在上面中列出来，不过它们大部分只是在查看服务器是否有存在错误是才用得着。

After create

This occurs when the thread creates a table (including internal temporary tables), at the end of the function that creates the table. This state is used even if the table could not be created due to some error.

Analyzing

The thread is calculating a MyISAM table key distributions (for example, for ANALYZE TABLE).

checking permissions

The thread is checking whether the server has the required privileges to execute the statement.

Checking table

The thread is performing a table check operation.

cleaning up

The thread has processed one command and is preparing to free memory and reset certain state variables.

closing tables

The thread is flushing the changed table data to disk and closing the used tables. This should be a fast operation. If not, you should verify that you do not have a full disk and that the disk is not in very heavy use.

converting HEAP to MyISAM

The thread is converting an internal temporary table from a MEMORY table to an on-disk MyISAM table.

copy to tmp table

The thread is processing an ALTER TABLE statement. This state occurs after the table with the new structure has been created but before rows are copied into it.

Copying to group table

If a statement has different ORDER BY and GROUP BY criteria, the rows are sorted by group and copied to a temporary table.

Copying to tmp table

The server is copying to a temporary table in memory.

Copying to tmp table on disk

The server is copying to a temporary table on disk. The temporary result set was larger than tmp_table_size and the thread is changing the temporary table from in-memory to disk-based format to save memory.

Creating index

The thread is processing ALTER TABLE ... ENABLE KEYS for a MyISAM table.

Creating sort index

The thread is processing a SELECT that is resolved using an internal temporary table.

creating table

The thread is creating a table. This includes creation of temporary tables.

Creating tmp table

The thread is creating a temporary table in memory or on disk. If the table is created in memory but later is converted to an on-disk table, the state during that operation will be Copying to tmp table on disk.

deleting from main table

The server is executing the first part of a multiple-table delete. It is deleting only from the first table, and saving columns and offsets to be used for deleting from the other (reference) tables.

deleting from reference tables

The server is executing the second part of a multiple-table delete and deleting the matched rows from the other tables.

discard_or_import_tablespace

The thread is processing an ALTER TABLE ... DISCARD TABLESPACE or ALTER TABLE ... IMPORT TABLESPACE statement.

end

This occurs at the end but before the cleanup of ALTER TABLE, CREATE VIEW, DELETE, INSERT, SELECT, or UPDATE statements.

executing

The thread has begun executing a statement.

Execution of init_command

The thread is executing statements in the value of the init_command system variable.

freeing items

The thread has executed a command. This state is usually followed by cleaning up.

Flushing tables

The thread is executing FLUSH TABLES and is waiting for all threads to close their tables.

FULLTEXT initialization

The server is preparing to perform a natural-language full-text search.

init

This occurs before the initialization of ALTER TABLE, DELETE, INSERT, SELECT, or UPDATE statements.

Killed

Someone has sent a KILL statement to the thread and it should abort next time it checks the kill flag. The flag is checked in each major loop in MySQL, but in some cases it might still take a short time for the thread to die. If the thread is locked by some other thread, the kill takes effect as soon as the other thread releases its lock.

Locked

The query is locked by another query.

logging slow query

The thread is writing a statement to the slow-query log.

NULL

This state is used for the SHOW PROCESSLIST state.

login

The initial state for a connection thread until the client has been authenticated successfully.

Opening tables, Opening table

The thread is trying to open a table. This is should be very fast procedure, unless something prevents opening. For example, an ALTER TABLE or a LOCK TABLE statement can prevent opening a table until the statement is finished.

preparing

This state occurs during query optimization.

Purging old relay logs

The thread is removing unneeded relay log files.

query end

This state occurs after processing a query but before the freeing items state.

Reading from net

The server is reading a packet from the network.

Removing duplicates

The query was using SELECT DISTINCT in such a way that MySQL could not optimize away the distinct operation at an early stage. Because of this, MySQL requires an extra stage to remove all duplicated rows before sending the result to the client.

removing tmp table

The thread is removing an internal temporary table after processing a SELECT statement. This state is not used if no temporary table was created.

rename

The thread is renaming a table.

rename result table

The thread is processing an ALTER TABLE statement, has created the new table, and is renaming it to replace the original table.

Reopen tables

The thread got a lock for the table, but noticed after getting the lock that the underlying table structure changed. It has freed the lock, closed the table, and is trying to reopen it.

Repair by sorting

The repair code is using a sort to create indexes.

Repair done

The thread has completed a multi-threaded repair for a MyISAM table.

Repair with keycache

The repair code is using creating keys one by one through the key cache. This is much slower than Repair by sorting.

Rolling back

The thread is rolling back a transaction.

Saving state

For MyISAM table operations such as repair or analysis, the thread is saving the new table state to the .MYI file header. State includes information such as number of rows, the AUTO_INCREMENT counter, and key distributions.

Searching rows for update

The thread is doing a first phase to find all matching rows before updating them. This has to be done if the UPDATE is changing the index that is used to find the involved rows.

Sending data

The thread is processing rows for a SELECT statement and also is sending data to the client.

setup

The thread is beginning an ALTER TABLE operation.

Sorting for group

The thread is doing a sort to satisfy a GROUP BY.

Sorting for order

The thread is doing a sort to satisfy a ORDER BY.

Sorting index

The thread is sorting index pages for more efficient access during a MyISAM table optimization operation.

Sorting result

For a SELECT statement, this is similar to Creating sort index, but for nontemporary tables.

statistics

The server is calculating statistics to develop a query execution plan.

System lock

The thread is going to request or is waiting for an internal or external system lock for the table. If this state is being caused by requests for external locks and you are not using multiple mysqld servers that are accessing the same tables, you can disable external system locks with the --skip-external-locking option. However, external locking is disabled by default, so it is likely that this option will have no effect. For SHOW PROFILE, this state means the thread is requesting the lock (not waiting for it).

Table lock

The next thread state after System lock. The thread has acquired an external lock and is going to request an internal table lock.

Updating

The thread is searching for rows to update and is updating them.

updating main table

The server is executing the first part of a multiple-table update. It is updating only the first table, and saving columns and offsets to be used for updating the other (reference) tables.

updating reference tables

The server is executing the second part of a multiple-table update and updating the matched rows from the other tables.

User lock

The thread is going to request or is waiting for an advisory lock requested with a GET_LOCK() call. For SHOW PROFILE, this state means the thread is requesting the lock (not waiting for it).

Waiting for tables, Waiting for table

The thread got a notification that the underlying structure for a table has changed and it needs to reopen the table to get the new structure. However, to reopen the table, it must wait until all other threads have closed the table in question.

This notification takes place if another thread has used FLUSH TABLES or one of the following statements on the table in question: FLUSH TABLES tbl_name, ALTER TABLE, RENAME TABLE, REPAIR TABLE, ANALYZE TABLE, or OPTIMIZE TABLE.

Waiting on cond

A generic state in which the thread is waiting for a condition to become true. No specific state information is available.

Writing to net

The server is writing a packet to the network.
