Yep, mysqladmin can give the same info. As noted in my original message, I need much more detailed info.
The crux of the problem is that I need to run a query that could take several hours when it's using indexes correctly, but it is not working correctly so it takes longer than I've been willing to wait (about 14 hours). I need to make changes to indexes and run the query again, but I don't want to wait hours until I know whether the change was effective or not. I really need a way to find out how far the query has progressed after 15 minutes so I can calculate how much improvement the changes made.
