AND STMT.MON$STATE = 1

Using MON$STATEMENTS to Cancel a Query

Monitoring tables are read-only.However, the server has a built-in mechanism for deleting (and only deleting) records in the MON$STATEMENTS table, which makes it possible to cancel a running query.

Note
Notes

  • If no statements are currently being executed in the connection, any attempt to cancel queries will not proceed

  • After a query is cancelled, calling execute/fetch API functions will return an error with the isc_cancelled code

  • Subsequent queries from this connection will proceed as normal

  • Cancellation of the statement does not occur synchronously, it only marks the request for cancellation, and the cancellation itself is done asynchronously by the server
Example

Cancelling all active queries for the specified connection:

DELETE FROM MON$STATEMENTS
  WHERE MON$ATTACHMENT_ID = 32
