i have an issue with my current database with mysql.

i have over 100 connection waiting on a select record. when i execute:

show processlist;

the select query is a big query and the others are smaler queries and inserts, updates.

i have one database with 100 tables and the select is using 5 joins.

is there a way to temporary stop the process and let the other processes run, once all the processes are completed, then the select can continue running?
