Re: current_timestamp() freezes

[Rick James]

Can't dup:

> SELECT current_timestamp(); SELECT SLEEP(5); SELECT current_timestamp();
+---------------------+
| current_timestamp() |
+---------------------+
| 2015-11-30 18:17:13 |
+---------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

+----------+
| SLEEP(5) |
+----------+
|        0 |
+----------+
1 row in set (5.02 sec)

+---------------------+
| current_timestamp() |
+---------------------+
| 2015-11-30 18:17:18 |   <--- looks different to me.
+---------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

Please provide context (what tool is running it), SELECT statement, and anything else that might shed light.
