#node-mysql2
Mysql client for node.js. Written in native JavaScript and aims to be mostly api compatible with node-mysql
In addition to client-side query/escape and connection pooling
- fast
- MySQL server API for proxies and mocks
- SSL and compression
- prepared statements
- binlog protocol client
See node-mysql documentation. If you see api incompatibilities, please report via github issue.
Below is a list of extensions not supported by node-mysql:
You can use named placeholders for parameters by setting namedPlaceholders config value or query/execute time option. Named placeholders are converted to unnamed ? on the client (mysql protocol does not support named parameters). If you reference parameter multiple times under the same name it is sent to server multiple times.
connection.config.namedPlaceholders = true;
connection.execute('select :x + :y as z', { x: 1, y: 2}, function(err, rows) {
// statement prepared as "select ? + ? as z" and executed with [1,2] values
// rows returned: [ { z: 3 } ]
});
connection.execute('select :x + :x as z', { x: 1 }, function(err, rows) {
// select ? + ? as z, execute with [1, 1]
});
connection.query('select :x + :x as z', { x: 1 }, function(err, rows) {
// query select 1 + 1 as z
});Similar to connection.query().
connection.execute('select 1 + ? + ? as result', [5, 6], function(err, rows) {
// rows: [ { result: 12 } ]
// internally 'select 1 + ? + ? as result' is prepared first. On subsequent calls cached statement is re-used
});
// close cached statement for 'select 1 + ? + ? as result'. noop if not in cache
connection.unprepare('select 1 + ? + ? as result');connection.prepare('select ? + ? as tests', function(err, statement) {
// statement.parameters - array of column definitions, length === number of params, here 2
// statement.columns - array of result column definitions. Can be empty if result schema is dynamic / not known
// statement.id
// statement.query
statement.execute([1, 2], function(err, rows, columns) {
// -> [ { tests: 3 } ]
});
// note that there is no callback here. There is no statement close ack at protocol level.
statement.close();
});Note that you should not use statement after connection reset (changeUser() or disconnect). Statement scope is connection, you need to prepare statement for each new connection in order to use it.
var options = {sql: 'select A,B,C,D from foo', rowsAsArray: true};
connection.query(options, function(err, results) {
/* results will be an array of arrays like this now:
[[
'field A value',
'field B value',
'field C value',
'field D value',
], ...]
*/
});In addition to sending local fs files you can send any stream using infileStreamFactory query option. If set, it has to be a function that return a readable stream. It gets file path from query as a parameter.
// local file
connection.query('LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE "/tmp/data.csv" INTO TABLE test FIELDS TERMINATED BY ? (id, title)', onInserted1);
// local stream
var sql = 'LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE "mystream" INTO TABLE test FIELDS TERMINATED BY ? (id, title)';
connection.query({
sql: sql,
infileStreamFactory: function(path) { return getStream(); }
}, onInserted2);var net = require('net');
var mysql = require('mysql2');
var shape = require('shaper');
var connection = mysql.createConnection({
user: 'test',
database: 'test',
stream: net.connect('/tmp/mysql.sock').pipe(shape(10)) // emulate 10 bytes/sec link
});
connection.query('SELECT 1+1 as test1', console.log);stream also can be a function. In that case function result has to be duplex stream, and it is used for connection transport. This is required if you connect pool using custom transport as new pooled connection needs new stream. Example connecting over socks5 proxy:
var mysql = require('mysql2');
var SocksConnection = require('socksjs');
var pool = mysql.createPool({
database: 'test',
user: 'foo',
password: 'bar'
stream: function(cb) {
cb(null, new SocksConnection({ host: 'remote.host', port: 3306}, { host: 'localhost', port: 1080 }));
}
});In addition to password createConnection(), createPool() and changeUser() accept passwordSha1 option. This is useful when implementing proxies as plaintext password might be not available.
In contrast to node-mysql, zeroFill flag is ignored in type conversion.
You need to check corresponding field zeroFill flag and convert to string manually if this is of importance to you.
DECIMAL and NEWDECIMAL types always returned as string unless you pass this config option:
{
decimalNumbers: true
}Warning this option could lose precision on the number as Javascript Number is a Float!
Simple select:
var mysql = require('mysql2');
var connection = mysql.createConnection({ user: 'test', database: 'test'});
connection.query('SELECT 1+1 as test1', function(err, rows) {
//
});Prepared statement and parameters:
var mysql = require('mysql2');
var connection = mysql.createConnection({ user: 'test', database: 'test'});
connection.execute('SELECT 1+? as test1', [10], function(err, rows) {
//
});Connecting over encrypted connection:
var fs = require('fs');
var mysql = require('mysql2');
var connection = mysql.createConnection({
user: 'test',
database: 'test',
ssl: {
key: fs.readFileSync('./certs/client-key.pem'),
cert: fs.readFileSync('./certs/client-cert.pem')
}
});
connection.query('SELECT 1+1 as test1', console.log);You can use 'Amazon RDS' string as value to ssl property to connect to Amazon RDS mysql over ssl (in that case http://s3.amazonaws.com/rds-downloads/mysql-ssl-ca-cert.pem CA cert is used)
var mysql = require('mysql2');
var connection = mysql.createConnection({
user: 'foo',
password: 'bar',
host: 'db.id.ap-southeast-2.rds.amazonaws.com',
ssl: 'Amazon RDS'
});
conn.query('show status like \'Ssl_cipher\'', function(err, res) {
console.log(err, res);
conn.end();
});Simple mysql proxy server:
var mysql = require('mysql2');
var server = mysql.createServer();
server.listen(3307);
server.on('connection', function(conn) {
console.log('connection');
conn.serverHandshake({
protocolVersion: 10,
serverVersion: 'node.js rocks',
connectionId: 1234,
statusFlags: 2,
characterSet: 8,
capabilityFlags: 0xffffff
});
conn.on('field_list', function(table, fields) {
console.log('field list:', table, fields);
conn.writeEof();
});
var remote = mysql.createConnection({user: 'root', database: 'dbname', host:'server.example.com', password: 'secret'});
conn.on('query', function(sql) {
console.log('proxying query:' + sql);
remote.query(sql, function(err) { // overloaded args, either (err, result :object)
// or (err, rows :array, columns :array)
if (Array.isArray(arguments[1])) {
// response to a 'select', 'show' or similar
var rows = arguments[1], columns = arguments[2];
console.log('rows', rows);
console.log('columns', columns);
conn.writeTextResult(rows, columns);
} else {
// response to an 'insert', 'update' or 'delete'
var result = arguments[1];
console.log('result', result);
conn.writeOk(result);
}
});
});
conn.on('end', remote.end.bind(remote));
});- createServer() - creates server instance
- Server.listen - listen port / unix socket (same arguments as net.Server.listen)
events:
- connect - new incoming connection.
- serverHandshake({serverVersion, protocolVersion, connectionId, statusFlags, characterSet, capabilityFlags}) - send server handshake initialisation packet, wait handshake response and start listening for commands
- writeOk({affectedRows: num, insertId: num}) - send OK packet to client
- writeEof(warnings, statusFlags) - send EOF packet
- writeTextResult(rows, fields) - write query result to client. Rows and fields are in the same format as in
connection.querycallback. - writeColumns(fields) - write fields + EOF packets.
- writeTextRow(row) - write array (not hash!) ov values as result row
- TODO: binary protocol
events:
- query(sql) - query from client
MIT
- Internal protocol is written from scratch using my experience with mysql-native
- constants, sql parameters interpolation, pool, connection config class taken from node-mysql (I tried to preserve git history)
- SSL upgrade code based on @TooTallNate code
- Secure connection / compressed connection api flags compatible to mariasql client.
