In the MySQL command line client, you can use the `STATUS;` command to see some connection information. I thought you used to be able to do that in phpMyAdmin as well. Unfortunately, I currently get an error message:
#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'status' at line 1
A quick look at Google doesn't help me determine if this is expected behavior or something that's been deprecated in recent MySQL versions. I could be remembering wrong, but if it's a problem on our end it should be fixed.
I've tested this on QA_4_7 and master. Does anyone have any input about this?
Thanks
