# KILL QUERY command

The KILL QUERY command terminates a query that is running in the current Graph service and then returns the ID of the terminated query.

## Limitations

The following types of queries cannot be terminated using the KILL QUERY command:

- [DDL statements](https://dev-docs.nebula-graph.io/v5.3.2/database-gql-reference/ddl/)
- [DML statements](https://dev-docs.nebula-graph.io/v5.3.2/database-gql-reference/dml/)
- [Synchronous procedural calls](https://dev-docs.nebula-graph.io/v5.3.2/database-gql-reference/dql/call/call-procedure/)

## Syntax

 kill_query_command  

````
kill_query_command ::=
    'KILL' 'QUERY' '"' query_id '"'

````

## Parameters

### `query_id`

The ID of the query to be terminated. Only a single query ID can be specified at a time. You can use [SHOW QUERIES](https://dev-docs.nebula-graph.io/v5.3.2/database-gql-reference/data-admin/show/show-queries/) to obtain the query ID.

## Examples

### Kill a query

````
KILL QUERY "20231128_06303700005z3tjb"

````

`20231128_06303700005z3tjb` is the ID of the query to be terminated.

Return:

````
