Check MySQL Connections: Current Count

To check the current number of connections in the MySQL database, you can execute the following SQL query:

SHOW STATUS WHERE `variable_name` = 'Threads_connected';

This SQL query will return the number of clients currently connected to the MySQL server. The system variable Threads_connected is used to represent the current number of connections.

You can also directly query the global state variable to retrieve information about the number of connections.

SHOW GLOBAL STATUS LIKE 'Threads_connected';

This will provide more detailed information on the number of connections.
