MySQL Batch Updates Not Working

08 May 2015 Looking at "SHOW PROCESSLIST" and it looks like your queries are running individually instead of in batches like you sent?

This happens because MySQL runs each update statement individually, but you should still be able to see the batches when the queries are in the "init" state.

Use this query to see the batched queries:
SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PROCESSLIST where state="init";
