nodejs中mysql用法寻技术

nodejs也算是一篇脚本了我们来看nodejs如何使用mysql数据库了有了它们两组合感觉还是非常的不错哦，下面一起来看nodejs中使用mysql数据库的示例，希望能够帮助到各位。

db-mysql因为 node-waf: not found 已经不能使用,可以使用mysql代替.

本文主要是[node-mysql]: https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-mysql 的翻译,也去除了一部分自己暂时没有使用到的,如集群.

安装

npm install mysql
简介

纯JavaScript编写,使用的MIT协议.

var mysql      = require('mysql');
var connection = mysql.createConnection({
host     : 'localhost',
user     : 'me',
password : 'secret',
database : 'my_db'
});

connection.connect();

// 顺序执行
connection.query('SELECT 1 1 AS solution', function(err, rows, fields) {
if (err) throw err;

console.log('The solution is: ', rows[0].solution);
});

// 关闭数据库连接
connection.end();
建立数据库连接

官方推荐如下方式建立数据库连接

var mysql      = require('mysql');
var connection = mysql.createConnection({
host     : 'example.org',
user     : 'bob',
password : 'secret'
});

connection.connect(function(err) {
if (err) {
console.error('error connecting: ' err.stack);
return;
}

console.log('connected as id ' connection.threadId);
});
也可以直接通过查询建立连接

var mysql = require('mysql');
var connection = mysql.createConnection(...);

connection.query('SELECT 1', function(err, rows) {
// connected! (unless `err` is set)
});
连接的选项

host : The hostname of the database you are connecting to. (Default:
localhost )
port : The port number to connect to. (Default: 3306 )
localAddress : The source IP address to use for TCP connection. (Optional)
socketPath : The path to a unix domain socket to connect to. When used host
and port are ignored.
user : The MySQL user to authenticate as.
password : The password of that MySQL user.
database : Name of the database to use for this connection (Optional).
charset : The charset for the connection. This is called "collation" in the SQL-level
of MySQL (like utf8_general_ci ). If a SQL-level charset is specified (like utf8mb4 )
then the default collation for that charset is used. (Default: 'UTF8_GENERAL_CI' )
timezone : The timezone used to store local dates. (Default: 'local' )
connectTimeout : The milliseconds before a timeout occurs during the initial connection
to the MySQL server. (Default: 10000 )
stringifyObjects : Stringify objects instead of converting to values. See
issue #501 . (Default: 'false' )
insecureAuth : Allow connecting to MySQL instances that ask for the old
(insecure) authentication method. (Default: false )
typeCast : Determines if column values should be converted to native
JavaScript types. (Default: true )
queryFormat : A custom query format function. See.
supportBigNumbers : When dealing with big numbers (BIGINT and DECIMAL columns) in the database,
you should enable this option (Default: false ).
bigNumberStrings : Enabling both supportBigNumbers and bigNumberStrings forces big numbers
(BIGINT and DECIMAL columns) to be always returned as JavaScript String objects (Default: false ).
Enabling supportBigNumbers but leaving bigNumberStrings disabled will return big numbers as String
objects only when they cannot be accurately represented with [JavaScript Number objects] ( http://ecma262-5.com/ELS5_HTML.htm#Section_8.5 )
(which happens when they exceed the [-2^53, 2^53] range), otherwise they will be returned as
Number objects. This option is ignored if supportBigNumbers is disabled.
dateStrings : Force date types (TIMESTAMP, DATETIME, DATE) to be returned as strings rather then
inflated into JavaScript Date objects. (Default: false )
debug : Prints protocol details to stdout. (Default: false )
trace : Generates stack traces on Error to include call site of library
entrance ("long stack traces"). Slight performance penalty for most calls.
(Default: true )
multipleStatements : Allow multiple mysql statements per query. Be careful
with this, it could increase the scope of SQL injection attacks. (Default: false )
flags : List of connection flags to use other than the default ones. It is
also possible to blacklist default ones. For more information, check
.
ssl : object with ssl parameters or a string containing name of ssl profile. See.
下面这样通过字符串方式也可以:

var connection = mysql.createConnection('mysql://user:pass@host/db?debug=true&charset=BIG5_CHINESE_CI&timezone=-0700');
关闭连接

有两种方式关闭连接:end和destroy

使用end回调关闭会更优雅一些,他会确保已经在队列中的查询会发送一个 COM_QUIT 给mysql.

connection.end(function(err) {
// The connection is terminated now
});
使用destroy会直接粗暴关闭连接,不会触发connection的任何回调函数.

connection.destroy();
使用连接池

var mysql = require('mysql');
var pool = mysql.createPool({
connectionLimit : 10,
host            : 'example.org',
user            : 'bob',
password        : 'secret',
database        : 'my_db'
});

pool.query('SELECT 1 1 AS solution', function(err, rows, fields) {
if (err) throw err;

console.log('The solution is: ', rows[0].solution);
});
通过 connection.release() 释放连接

var mysql = require('mysql');
var pool = mysql.createPool(...);

pool.getConnection(function(err, connection) {
// Use the connection
connection.query( 'SELECT something FROM sometable', function(err, rows) {
    // And done with the connection.
    // 释放连接
    connection.release();

// Don't use the connection here, it has been returned to the pool.
});
});
如果你想从连接池挂壁一个连接,使用 connection.destroy() .当然如果有需要连接池会新建一个代替.

连接池对于连接时懒加载的.比如你配置了100个连接,而现在只使用了5个,那只会初始化5个.

连接池回收一个连接,后会往mysql服务器发送一个ping,确认连接是否有效.

连接池的选项

连接池可以直接使用连接的选项,然后在新建连接时,直接用这些配置新建连接.连接池添加了下面的选项:

acquireTimeout : The milliseconds before a timeout occurs during the connection
acquisition. This is slightly different from connectTimeout , because acquiring
a pool connection does not always involve making a connection. (Default: 10000 )
waitForConnections : Determines the pool's action when no connections are
available and the limit has been reached. If true , the pool will queue the
connection request and call it when one becomes available. If false , the
pool will immediately call back with an error. (Default: true )
connectionLimit : The maximum number of connections to create at once.
(Default: 10 )
queueLimit : The maximum number of connection requests the pool will queue
before returning an error from getConnection . If set to 0 , there is no
limit to the number of queued connection requests. (Default: 0 )
连接池事件

建立连接会触发 connection .

pool.on('connection', function (connection) {
connection.query('SET SESSION auto_increment_increment=1')
});
当有回调排队等待连接时,触发 enqueue

pool.on('enqueue', function () {
console.log('Waiting for available connection slot');
});
关闭连接池

之前提到关闭连接池中的连接后,当需要使用时连接池会自动新建,所以使用 connection.end() 或 connection.destroy() 时无法关闭连接池的,需要使用 pool.end() :

pool.end(function (err) {
// all connections in the pool have ended
});
查询语句

在 Connection 或 Pool 实例上使用 .query() 是最简单的查询.

第一种方式是直接拼接好查询用的sql .query(sqlString, callback)

connection.query('SELECT * FROM `books` WHERE `author` = "David"', function (error, results, fields) {
// error will be an Error if one occurred during the query
// results will contain the results of the query
// fields will contain information about the returned results fields (if any)
});
或者使用占位符,然后传参 .query(sqlString, values, callback)

connection.query('SELECT * FROM `books` WHERE `author` = ?', ['David'], function (error, results, fields) {
// error will be an Error if one occurred during the query
// results will contain the results of the query
// fields will contain information about the returned results fields (if any)
});
第三种方式是使用options. .query(options, callback)

connection.query({
sql: 'SELECT * FROM `books` WHERE `author` = ?',
timeout: 40000, // 40s
values: ['David']
}, function (error, results, fields) {
// error will be an Error if one occurred during the query
// results will contain the results of the query
// fields will contain information about the returned results fields (if any)
});
第二种和第三种使用方式可以混合使用

connection.query({
    sql: 'SELECT * FROM `books` WHERE `author` = ?',
    timeout: 40000, // 40s
},
['David'],
function (error, results, fields) {
    // error will be an Error if one occurred during the query
    // results will contain the results of the query
    // fields will contain information about the returned results fields (if any)
}
);
查询参数转义 Escaping query values

为了避免sql注入攻击,在sql查询使用前,我们需要转义用户提供的任何数据. 使用 mysql.escape() , connection.escape() 或 pool.escape() 方法:

var userId = 'some user provided value';
var sql = 'SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ' connection.escape(userId);
connection.query(sql, function(err, results) {
// ...
});
使用占位符 ? ,也行.

connection.query('SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?', [userId], function(err, results) {
// ...
});
占位符是按顺序替换的.

connection.query('UPDATE users SET foo = ?, bar = ?, baz = ? WHERE id = ?', ['a', 'b', 'c', userId], function(err, results) {
// ...
});
不同类型的参数,转义规则是不一样的:

Numbers are left untouched
Booleans are converted to true / false
Date objects are converted to 'YYYY-mm-dd HH:ii:ss' strings
Buffers are converted to hex strings, e.g. X'0fa5'
Strings are safely escaped
Arrays are turned into list, e.g. ['a', 'b'] turns into 'a', 'b'
Nested arrays are turned into grouped lists (for bulk inserts), e.g. [['a', 'b'], ['c', 'd']] turns into ('a', 'b'), ('c', 'd')
Objects are turned into key = 'val' pairs for each enumerable property on the object. If the property's value is a function, it is skipped; if the
property's value is an object, toString() is called on it and the returned value is used.
undefined / null are converted to NULL
NaN / Infinity are left as-is. MySQL does not support these, and trying to insert them as values will trigger MySQL errors until they implement
support.
转义还提供对象方式传参数

var post = {id: 1, title: 'Hello MySQL'};
var query = connection.query('INSERT INTO posts SET ?', post, function(err, result) {
// Neat!
});
console.log(query.sql); // INSERT INTO posts SET `id` = 1, `title` = 'Hello MySQL'
不嫌麻烦的话,咱们也可以自己手动转义:

var query = "SELECT * FROM posts WHERE title=" mysql.escape("Hello MySQL");

console.log(query); // SELECT * FROM posts WHERE title='Hello MySQL'
转义查询的关键词 Escaping query identifiers

如果你对用户提供的关键词没把我 (database / table / column name) ,可以使用 mysql.escapeId(identifier) ,

connection.escapeId(identifier) or pool.escapeId(identifier) 转义:

var sorter = 'date';
var sql = 'SELECT * FROM posts ORDER BY ' connection.escapeId(sorter);
connection.query(sql, function(err, results) {
// ...
});
var sorter = 'date';
var sql = 'SELECT * FROM posts ORDER BY ' connection.escapeId('posts.' sorter);
connection.query(sql, function(err, results) {
// ...
});
还可以使用 ?? 做占位符:

var userId = 1;
var columns = ['username', 'email'];
var query = connection.query('SELECT ?? FROM ?? WHERE id = ?', [columns, 'users', userId], function(err, results) {
// ...
});

console.log(query.sql); // SELECT `username`, `email` FROM `users` WHERE id = 1
Please note that this last character sequence is experimental and syntax might change

When you pass an Object to .escape() or .query() , .escapeId() is used to avoid SQL injection in object keys.

准备查询语句Preparing Queries

You can use mysql.format to prepare a query with multiple insertion points, utilizing the proper escaping for ids and values. A simple example of this follows:

我们可以使用 mysql.format 来准备一个插入语句,解决转义问题.

var sql = "SELECT * FROM ?? WHERE ?? = ?";
var inserts = ['users', 'id', userId];
sql = mysql.format(sql, inserts);
这样我们就可以得到一个安全有效,转义好的查询语句. mysql.format 是 SqlString.format 暴露的,所以可以传入stringifyObject和timezone来自定义对象如何转为字符串.

自定义格式 Custom format

如果我们想使用其他方式来转义查询语句,可以使用connection的配置.可以使用内置的 .escape() 或其他配置函数.

connection.config.queryFormat = function (query, values) {
if (!values) return query;
return query.replace(/\:(\w )/g, function (txt, key) {
    if (values.hasOwnProperty(key)) {
      return this.escape(values[key]);
    }
    return txt;
}.bind(this));
};

connection.query("UPDATE posts SET title = :title", { title: "Hello MySQL" });
获取插入行的id

如果是id自增长方式插入数据,你可以这样获取id:

connection.query('INSERT INTO posts SET ?', {title: 'test'}, function(err, result) {
if (err) throw err;

console.log(result.insertId);
});
When dealing with big numbers (above JavaScript Number precision limit), you should consider enabling supportBigNumbers option to be able to read the insert id as a string, otherwise it will throw an error.

This option is also required when fetching big numbers from the database, otherwise you will get values rounded to hundreds or thousands due to the precision limit.

获取影响的行数

我们可以获取影响(新建,修改,删除)涉及的行数

connection.query('DELETE FROM posts WHERE title = "wrong"', function (err, result) {
if (err) throw err;

console.log('deleted ' result.affectedRows ' rows');
})
获取修改的行数 Getting the number of changed rows

我们可以获取update语句修改涉及的行数/

"changedRows" 不同于 "affectedRows" 不统计符合条件但没有改变值的记录. in that it does not count updated rows whose values were not changed.

connection.query('UPDATE posts SET ...', function (err, result) {
if (err) throw err;

console.log('changed ' result.changedRows ' rows');
})
获取连接id

connection.connect(function(err) {
if (err) throw err;
console.log('connected as id ' connection.threadId);
});
并行执行查询

mysql是顺序执行的,所以我们需要使用多个连接来并行查询.最简答的最法是每个http请求分配一个连接.

流查询 Streaming query rows

如果需要查询大量数据并处理每行,可以这样做:

Sometimes you may want to select large quantities of rows and process each of them as they are received. This can be done like this:

var query = connection.query('SELECT * FROM posts');
query
.on('error', function(err) {
    // Handle error, an 'end' event will be emitted after this as well
})
.on('fields', function(fields) {
    // the field packets for the rows to follow
})
.on('result', function(row) {
    // Pausing the connnection is useful if your processing involves I/O
    connection.pause();

    processRow(row, function() {
      connection.resume();
    });
})
.on('end', function() {
    // all rows have been received
});
Please note a few things about the example above:

Usually you will want to receive a certain amount of rows before starting to
throttle the connection using pause() . This number will depend on the
amount and size of your rows.
pause() / resume() operate on the underlying socket and parser. You are
guaranteed that no more 'result' events will fire after calling pause() .
You MUST NOT provide a callback to the query() method when streaming rows.
The 'result' event will fire for both rows as well as OK packets
confirming the success of a INSERT/UPDATE query.
It is very important not to leave the result paused too long, or you may
encounter Error: Connection lost: The server closed the connection.
The time limit for this is determined by the
net_write_timeout setting
on your MySQL server.
Additionally you may be interested to know that it is currently not possible to

stream individual row columns, they will always be buffered up entirely. If you

have a good use case for streaming large fields to and from MySQL, I'd love to

get your thoughts and contributions on this.

Piping results with Streams2

The query object provides a convenience method .stream([options]) that wraps

query events into a Readable

Streams2 object. This

stream can easily be piped downstream and provides automatic pause/resume,

based on downstream congestion and the optional highWaterMark . The

objectMode parameter of the stream is set to true and cannot be changed

(if you need a byte stream, you will need to use a transform stream, like

objstream for example).

For example, piping query results into another stream (with a max buffer of 5

objects) is simply:

connection.query('SELECT * FROM posts')
.stream({highWaterMark: 5})
.pipe(...);
多语句查询 Multiple statement queries

由于sql注入的安全问题,多语句查询默认禁用.需要手动启用 {multipleStatements: true} .

var connection = mysql.createConnection({multipleStatements: true});
之后就跟普通使用是一样的.

connection.query('SELECT 1; SELECT 2', function(err, results) {
if (err) throw err;

// `results` is an array with one element for every statement in the query:
console.log(results[0]); // [{1: 1}]
console.log(results[1]); // [{2: 2}]
});
Additionally you can also stream the results of multiple statement queries:

var query = connection.query('SELECT 1; SELECT 2');

query
.on('fields', function(fields, index) {
// the fields for the result rows that follow
})
.on('result', function(row, index) {
// index refers to the statement this result belongs to (starts at 0)
});
If one of the statements in your query causes an error, the resulting Error

object contains a err.index property which tells you which statement caused

it. MySQL will also stop executing any remaining statements when an error

occurs.

Please note that the interface for streaming multiple statement queries is

experimental and I am looking forward to feedback on it.

存储过程 Stored procedures

跟普通语句一样使用存储过程就好.如果存储过程返回了多个集合的数据,会像多语句查询那样返回结果集.

join语句时相同列名处理 Joins with overlapping column names

执行join语句时,很可能会收到重复的列名.

By default, node-mysql will overwrite colliding column names in the

order the columns are received from MySQL, causing some of the received values

to be unavailable.

However, you can also specify that you want your columns to be nested below

the table name like this:

var options = {sql: '...', nestTables: true};
connection.query(options, function(err, results) {
/* results will be an array like this now:
[{
    table1: {
      fieldA: '...',
      fieldB: '...',
    },
    table2: {
      fieldA: '...',
      fieldB: '...',
    },
}, ...]
*/
});
Or use a string separator to have your results merged.

var options = {sql: '...', nestTables: '_'};
connection.query(options, function(err, results) {
/* results will be an array like this now:
[{
    table1_fieldA: '...',
    table1_fieldB: '...',
    table2_fieldA: '...',
    table2_fieldB: '...',
}, ...]
*/
});
事务 Transactions

在connection中提供事务

connection.beginTransaction(function(err) {
if (err) { throw err; }
connection.query('INSERT INTO posts SET title=?', title, function(err, result) {
    if (err) {
      return connection.rollback(function() {
        throw err;
      });
    }

var log = 'Post ' result.insertId ' added';

    connection.query('INSERT INTO log SET data=?', log, function(err, result) {
      if (err) {
        return connection.rollback(function() {
          throw err;
        });
      }
      connection.commit(function(err) {
        if (err) {
          return connection.rollback(function() {
            throw err;
          });
        }
        console.log('success!');
      });
    });
});
});
beginTransaction(), commit() 和 rollback()只是简单执行START TRANSACTION, COMMIT, 和 ROLLBACK命令.而mysql中很多语句是可以自动提交的.自己翻 MySQL documentation

Ping

ping一下,确认连接是否有效,连接池也用.

A ping packet can be sent over a connection using the connection.ping method. This

method will send a ping packet to the server and when the server responds, the callback

will fire. If an error occurred, the callback will fire with an error argument.

connection.ping(function (err) {
if (err) throw err;
console.log('Server responded to ping');
})
Timeouts

Every operation takes an optional inactivity timeout option. This allows you to

specify appropriate timeouts for operations. It is important to note that these

timeouts are not part of the MySQL protocol, and rather timeout operations through

the client. This means that when a timeout is reached, the connection it occurred

on will be destroyed and no further operations can be performed.

// Kill query after 60s
connection.query({sql: 'SELECT COUNT(*) AS count FROM big_table', timeout: 60000}, function (err, rows) {
if (err && err.code === 'PROTOCOL_SEQUENCE_TIMEOUT') {
throw new Error('too long to count table rows!');
}

if (err) {
throw err;
}

console.log(rows[0].count ' rows');
});
Error handling

This module comes with a consistent approach to error handling that you should

review carefully in order to write solid applications.

Most errors created by this module are instances of the JavaScript Error

object. Additionally they typically come with two extra properties:

err.code : Either a MySQL server error (e.g.
'ER_ACCESS_DENIED_ERROR' ), a Node.js error (e.g. 'ECONNREFUSED' ) or an
internal error (e.g. 'PROTOCOL_CONNECTION_LOST' ).
err.fatal : Boolean, indicating if this error is terminal to the connection
object. If the error is not from a MySQL protocol operation, this properly
will not be defined.
Fatal errors are propagated to all pending callbacks. In the example below, a

fatal error is triggered by trying to connect to an invalid port. Therefore the

error object is propagated to both pending callbacks:

var connection = require('mysql').createConnection({
port: 84943, // WRONG PORT
});

connection.connect(function(err) {
console.log(err.code); // 'ECONNREFUSED'
console.log(err.fatal); // true
});

connection.query('SELECT 1', function(err) {
console.log(err.code); // 'ECONNREFUSED'
console.log(err.fatal); // true
});
Normal errors however are only delegated to the callback they belong to. So in

the example below, only the first callback receives an error, the second query

works as expected:

connection.query('USE name_of_db_that_does_not_exist', function(err, rows) {
console.log(err.code); // 'ER_BAD_DB_ERROR'
});

connection.query('SELECT 1', function(err, rows) {
console.log(err); // null
console.log(rows.length); // 1
});
Last but not least: If a fatal errors occurs and there are no pending

callbacks, or a normal error occurs which has no callback belonging to it, the

error is emitted as an 'error' event on the connection object. This is

demonstrated in the example below:

connection.on('error', function(err) {
console.log(err.code); // 'ER_BAD_DB_ERROR'
});

connection.query('USE name_of_db_that_does_not_exist');
Note: 'error' events are special in node. If they occur without an attached

listener, a stack trace is printed and your process is killed.

tl;dr:This module does not want you to deal with silent failures. You

should always provide callbacks to your method calls. If you want to ignore

this advice and suppress unhandled errors, you can do this:

// I am Chuck Norris:
connection.on('error', function() {});
Exception Safety

This module is exception safe. That means you can continue to use it, even if

one of your callback functions throws an error which you're catching using

'uncaughtException' or a domain.

Type casting

For your convenience, this driver will cast mysql types into native JavaScript

types by default. The following mappings exist:

Number

TINYINT
SMALLINT
INT
MEDIUMINT
YEAR
FLOAT
DOUBLE
Date

TIMESTAMP
DATE
DATETIME
Buffer

TINYBLOB
MEDIUMBLOB
LONGBLOB
BLOB
BINARY
VARBINARY
BIT (last byte will be filled with 0 bits as necessary)
String

Notetext in the binary character set is returned as Buffer , rather

than a string.

CHAR
VARCHAR
TINYTEXT
MEDIUMTEXT
LONGTEXT
TEXT
ENUM
SET
DECIMAL (may exceed float precision)
BIGINT (may exceed float precision)
TIME (could be mapped to Date, but what date would be set?)
GEOMETRY (never used those, get in touch if you do)
It is not recommended (and may go away / change in the future) to disable type

casting, but you can currently do so on either the connection:

var connection = require('mysql').createConnection({typeCast: false});
Or on the query level:

var options = {sql: '...', typeCast: false};
var query = connection.query(options, function(err, results) {

});
You can also pass a function and handle type casting yourself. You're given some

column information like database, table and name and also type and length. If you

just want to apply a custom type casting to a specific type you can do it and then

fallback to the default. Here's an example of converting TINYINT(1) to boolean:

connection.query({
sql: '...',
typeCast: function (field, next) {
    if (field.type == 'TINY' && field.length == 1) {
      return (field.string() == '1'); // 1 = true, 0 = false
    }
    return next();
}
});
WARNING: YOU MUST INVOKE the parser using one of these three field functions in your custom typeCast callback. They can only be called once. (see #539 for discussion)

field.string()
field.buffer()
field.geometry()
are aliases for

parser.parseLengthCodedString()
parser.parseLengthCodedBuffer()
parser.parseGeometryValue()
You can find which field function you need to use by looking at: RowDataPacket.prototype._typeCast

Connection Flags

If, for any reason, you would like to change the default connection flags, you

can use the connection option flags . Pass a string with a comma separated list

of items to add to the default flags. If you don't want a default flag to be used

prepend the flag with a minus sign. To add a flag that is not in the default list,

just write the flag name, or prefix it with a plus (case insensitive).

Please note that some available flags that are not supported (e.g.: Compression),
are still not allowed to be specified.

Example

The next example blacklists FOUND_ROWS flag from default connection flags.

var connection = mysql.createConnection("mysql://localhost/test?flags=-FOUND_ROWS");
Default Flags

The following flags are sent by default on a new connection:

CONNECT_WITH_DB - Ability to specify the database on connection.
FOUND_ROWS - Send the found rows instead of the affected rows as affectedRows .
IGNORE_SIGPIPE - Old; no effect.
IGNORE_SPACE - Let the parser ignore spaces before the ( in queries.
LOCAL_FILES - Can use LOAD DATA LOCAL .
LONG_FLAG
LONG_PASSWORD - Use the improved version of Old Password Authentication.
MULTI_RESULTS - Can handle multiple resultsets for COM_QUERY.
ODBC Old; no effect.
PROTOCOL_41 - Uses the 4.1 protocol.
PS_MULTI_RESULTS - Can handle multiple resultsets for COM_STMT_EXECUTE.
RESERVED - Old flag for the 4.1 protocol.
SECURE_CONNECTION - Support native 4.1 authentication.
TRANSACTIONS - Asks for the transaction status flags.
In addition, the following flag will be sent if the option multipleStatements
is set to true :

MULTI_STATEMENTS - The client may send multiple statement per query or

statement prepare.

Other Available Flags

There are other flags available. They may or may not function, but are still

available to specify.

COMPRESS
INTERACTIVE
NO_SCHEMA
PLUGIN_AUTH
REMEMBER_OPTIONS
SSL
SSL_VERIFY_SERVER_CERT
Debugging and reporting problems

If you are running into problems, one thing that may help is enabling the

debug mode for the connection:

var connection = mysql.createConnection({debug: true});
This will print all incoming and outgoing packets on stdout. You can also restrict debugging to

packet types by passing an array of types to debug:

var connection = mysql.createConnection({debug: ['ComQueryPacket', 'RowDataPacket']});
to restrict debugging to the query and data packets.

If that does not help, feel free to open a GitHub issue. A good GitHub issue

will have:

The minimal amount of code required to reproduce the problem (if possible)
As much debugging output and information about your environment (mysql
version, node version, os, etc.) as you can gather.
Running tests

The test suite is split into two parts: unit tests and integration tests.

The unit tests run on any machine while the integration tests require a

MySQL server instance to be setup.

Running unit tests

$ FILTER=unit npm test
Running integration tests

Set the environment variables MYSQL_DATABASE , MYSQL_HOST , MYSQL_PORT ,

MYSQL_USER and MYSQL_PASSWORD . MYSQL_SOCKET can also be used in place

of MYSQL_HOST and MYSQL_PORT to connect over a UNIX socket. Then run

npm test .

For example, if you have an installation of mysql running on localhost:3306

and no password set for the root user, run:

$ mysql -u root -e "CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS node_mysql_test"
$ MYSQL_HOST=localhost MYSQL_PORT=3306 MYSQL_DATABASE=node_mysql_test MYSQL_USER=root MYSQL_PASSWORD= FILTER=integration npm test
