Dear MySQL users,
MySQL Connector/Node.js is a new Node.js driver for use with the X
DevAPI. This release, v8.0.13, is a maintenance release of the
MySQL Connector/Node.js 8.0 series.
The X DevAPI enables application developers to write code that combines
the strengths of the relational and document models using a modern,
NoSQL-like syntax that does not assume previous experience writing
traditional SQL.
MySQL Connector/Node.js can be downloaded through npm (see
https://www.npmjs.com/package/@mysql/xdevapi for details) or from
https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/nodejs/.
To learn more about how to write applications using the X DevAPI, see
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/x-devapi-userguide/en/. For more information
about how the X DevAPI is implemented in MySQL Connector/Node.js, and
its usage, see http://dev.mysql.com/doc/dev/connector-nodejs/.
Please note that the X DevAPI requires at least MySQL Server version
8.0 or higher with the X Plugin enabled. For general documentation
about how to get started using MySQL as a document store, see
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/document-store.html.
Changes in MySQL Connector/Node.js 8.0.13 (2018-10-22, General availability)
Functionality Added or Changed
* To go with the existing asynchronous
mysqlx.getSession(conn_str) method, a new synchronous
mysqlx.getClient(conn_str, options) method was added that
creates a connection pool handler that provides an
asynchronous getSession() method to create and retrieve
connections from the pool. The collection pooling options
are:
+ enabled: enables or disables connection pooling;
boolean and defaults to true.
+ maxSize: maximum number of connections available in
the pool; positive integer and defaults to 25.
+ maxIdleTime: maximum number of milliseconds a
connection can be idle in the queue before being
closed; integer >= 0 and defaults to 0 (infinite).
+ queueTimeout: maximum number of milliseconds a
request will wait for a connection to become
available; integer >= 0 and defaults to 0
(infinite).
This is different than connectTimeout that's used
for non-pooling. In a pooling scenario, there might
already be connections in the pool and queueTimeout
controls how long to wait for a connection in the
pool.
Example usage:
var mysqlx = require('@mysql/xdevapi')
var client = mysqlx.getClient(
{ user: 'root', host: 'localhost', port: 33060 },
{ pooling: { enabled: true, maxIdleTime: 5000, maxSize: 25,
queueTimeout: 20000 } }
);
client.getSession()
.then(session => {
console.log(session.inspect())
return session.close() // the connection becomes idle in the
client pool
})
.then(() => {
return client.getSession()
})
.then(session => {
console.log(session.inspect())
return client.close() // closes all connections and destroys
the pool
})
Closing a session attached to the pool makes the
connection available in the pool for subsequent
getSession() calls, while closing (destroying) the pool
effectively closes all server connections.
* Added a connection timeout query parameter. This defines
the length of time (milliseconds) the client waits for a
MySQL server to become available in the given network
addresses. It was added to both the mysqlx.getSession()
(non-pooling sessions) and mysqlx.getClient() (pooling
sessions) interfaces. This option defaults to 10000 (10
seconds). The value 0 disables the timeout so the client
will wait until the underlying socket (platform
dependent) times out.
Similar to other option formatting rules, this option
defined as connection-timeout (kebab-case) for URI
definitions and connectionTimeout (camelCase) for plain
JavaScript configuration objects.
Example usage:
const mysqlx = require('@mysql/xdevapi');
var client = mysqlx.getClient('root@localhost?connect-timeout=5000')
client.getSession()
.catch(err => {
console.log(err.message) // "Connection attempt to the
server was aborted. Timeout of 5000 ms was exceeded."
})
// Or
const mysqlx = require('@mysql/xdevapi');
var client =
mysqlx.getClient('mysqlx://root:passwd@[localhost:33060,
127.0.0.1:33060]?connect-timeout=5000')
client.getSession()
.catch(err => {
// connection could not be established after 10 seconds
(5 seconds for each server)
console.log(err.message); // All server connection
attempts we re aborted. Timeout of 5000 ms was exceeded for each
selected server.
});
In a multi-host scenario, the connect-timeout value
applies to each individual host.
Bugs Fixed
* Improved the handling of X Protocol global notices by
properly logging and then ignoring non-fatal errors, and
making the connection unusable for subsequent operations
in the case of a fatal error. (Bug #28653781)
* Calling getCollationName() on non-textual fields, such as
INT, threw the following error "TypeError: Cannot read
property 'collation' of undefined". (Bug #28608923)
* The fields() method did not function with valid
expressions generated by the expr() method. (Bug
#28409639)
* The returned Session.inspect() object now includes the
'user' property in addition to the 'dbUser' property but
containing the same value. (Bug #28362115)
