Thank you very much for your reply, Jeremy.
I have been searching high and low for some sort of solution
in MySQL, now I can stop.

In answer to your question other systems simply allow certain attributes to
be set at connection time, e.g. application_name, host_name, etc. So I normally
post_fix to the application_name a short date-time value which allows me
to distinguish connections in the list of processes on the server.


Cheers,

Hi,

I'm using a single shared user-login for a web-based application to
my mysql database - is there a way of including some information at
connect time or during processing that would show up when issuing
`show processlist'?



Only if you prefixed each query with a comment:

 /* foo #3 */ SELECTL * FROM world ORDER BY...

But not at connect time.



Basically, I need to able to distinguish potentially multiple
connections with the same login and process information some how.
This sort of thing is possible in other SQL engines so probably
should be in MySQL too.



Interesting. How do other systems handle this?
