This MySQL statement stops the slave server threads on a MySQL server which is running replication. To stop a specific type of slave thread, specify one or both of the thread types. Both may be given—just separate them with a comma. However, the default is to stop both. This MySQL statement requires SUPER privilege. You can start slave threads with the START SLAVE statement—assuming your slave is configured for replication already.
Here is an example of this MySQL statement in which only the SQL threads are to be stopped:
STOP SLAVE SQL_THREAD;
