Description:
Please add quiesce command to MySQL. A quiesce command is used to indicate a state for which all users have been locked out of a database or an instance (of databases) so that administrative tasks can be performed.

Thank you for the feature request. Indeed, many other RDBMSes support "Quiscent" or "Single User" mode for superuser to perform administration tasks.
