The 'Connection' output from the 'status' command is actually what I was looking for. However, most likely it will be a jdbc connection to mysql, not the mysql client, so I'll have to see if it works that way or not.

That said, in the mysql client, you can type '\s' for 'status'. Look for 'Current user' in the output. ____________________________________________________________ Eamon Daly ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stanton, Brian" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <mysql@lists.mysql.com> Sent: Wednesday, April 27, 2005 10:03 AM Subject: host info > Does anyone know a function that will return the hostname of the mysql > server you are connecting to? > > > > Just as: > > mysql> select database(); > > returns the database you're connected to, I need to display the host I'm > connected to. > > > > Similar to the oracle statement: select host_name from v$instance; > > > > Thanks, > > Brian Stanton -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
