Hello list,

We are working on a project where we use PHP5 inside Apache2 and run very long 
running queries on mysql 5 and postgresql. A single query might run up to 
several minutes, and generally uses 100% CPU on the database server. So far 
everything is fine.

Now what happens, is that sometimes the user hits the stop / back button before 
the query completes and reissues a new one.
The result is that two queries are running on the database server, even though 
the results of the first query will never be used.
Furthermore as both queries are concurring for the CPU, the second query takes 
much longer than normal.

PHP will only realize that the connection was closed by the browser once the 
database query is completed, but not during the query itself.

What we are looking for is a way to cancel a running query immediately when the 
user hits the back / stop button on his browser.
We found no real solution for this problem in the usual places. 

Any ideas, thoughts or comments are very welcome!

Cheers,
Thomas
