Can MySQL use multiple threads for single query?

Hi everybody!

I’m using MySQL for storing fairly large amounts of data and would like to know if MySQL is capable of using multiple threads for a single complex query and thereby spread the load across several CPU’s?

For example: A single query on a large table takes let’s say 5 minutes to complete. Does MySQL take advantage of several CPU’s or would this query only use a single CPU?

Thanks and regards!
