New in v1.1: The CANCEL JOB statement lets you stop long-running jobs, which include enterprise BACKUP and RESTORE tasks.
Limitations
- This feature currently only works with enterprise features. However, in the future, we plan to let you cancel any job, including schema changes.
- When an enterprise
RESTOREis canceled, partially restored data is properly cleaned up. This can have a minor, temporary impact on cluster performance.
Required Privileges
By default, only the root user can cancel a job.
