Process List

View active processes

Where it is: Workspace › Tools › Processes

Open Processes from the workspace navigation bar. The table shows all processes with columns: ID, User, Host, Database, Command, Time, State, and SQL.

Enable auto-refresh with the ▶ button and enter the interval in seconds. Use the user filter to show only processes belonging to a specific user.

Kill a process

Terminate a specific server thread.

Where it is: Process list › right-click › Kill Connection / Kill Query

Open the context menu on a process in the list — right-click on macOS, press and hold on iPad — and select Kill Connection (terminates the entire connection) or Kill Query (cancels only the active query). Both actions show a confirmation before executing.
