started an infinite procedure in phpmyadmin

Question

I call a procedure that includes an infinite loop in phpmyadmin:

WHILE i < 10 DO
  INSERT INTO ...
END WHILE;

Then I can't get into phpmyadmin anymore. It just shows 500 error. Is it possible to resolve it without root permission?

Answer 1

Could you reboot the server? If its shared hosting just call them and ask for a reboot/fix. Also, its mysql that is in a loop. Not phpmyadmin.

Without ssh access and root powers you are pretty much stuck.

On shared hosting its possible eventually the process will be killed/server rebooted because it is probably eating up ressources.
