Check the current number of connections to the MySQL database.

To view the current number of connections in the MySQL database in detail, follow these steps:

Connect to the MySQL server. You can connect using command line tools, such as the mysql command, or MySQL client software, like phpMyAdmin.

Run the following SQL query:

   SHOW STATUS WHERE `variable_name` = 'Threads_connected';

This SQL statement will retrieve a result set displaying the current number of clients connected to the MySQL database in the `Value` column.

By checking the values in the ‘Value’ column of the result set, you can obtain the current number of connections.

Please note that this method can only query the current number of connections and does not provide detailed information about the connections. If you need more detailed information about connections, consider using MySQL performance monitoring tools like `mysqladmin`, `mytop`, etc.
