Dear MySQL users, MySQL Connector/Node.js is a new Node.js driver for use with the X DevAPI. This release, v8.0.12, 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 8.0.12 (2018-07-27, General availability) X DevAPI Notes * For compliance with the Core DevAPI, these Connector/Node.js changes were made: + Collection: Deprecated: count(). Changed: getSchema() now returns a Schema instance instead of the schema name. + CollectionModify: Deprecated: limit(x, y)'s second parameter, and arrayDelete(). + CollectionFind: Deprecated: limit(x, y)'s second parameter. Added: limit(x).offset(y). + CollectionRemove: Deprecated: limit(x, y)'s second parameter. + Table: Deprecated: count() and insert(Document) API. Updated: getSchema() now returns a Schema instance instead of the Schema name. Removed: as(). + TableSelect: Deprecated: limit(x, y)'s second parameter. Added: limit(x).offset(y). + TableDelete: Deprecated: limit(x, y)'s second parameter, and delete(x)'s parameter in favor of using where(x) instead. + TableUpdate: Deprecated: limit(x, y)'s second parameter, and update(x)'s parameter in favor of using where(x) instead. + SqlExecute: Deprecated: sqlExecute() in favor of sql(). Added: bind(). + Column: Added isNumberSigned(), getCollationName(), getCharacterSetName(), and isPadded() Bugs Fixed * The Promise returned by the session.sql().execute() method resolved to a plain JavaScript object rather than a proper Result instance. This meant it lacked access to the API with methods such as getAffectedItemsCount() and getWarnings(). (Bug #28146988) * Retrieving rows with NULL fields would emit an unexpected AssertionError. (Bug #27978594) * The session.close() method is now asynchronous by returning a JavaScript Promise, when before it returned immediately. (Bug #27893001) * The right-padding mechanism was improved. (Bug #27839295) * While calling getSession() without arguments yields an "Invalid parameter." error, passing in '{}' yielded a "Cannot read property 'length' of undefined." error. Now '{}' is allowed, and getSession() defaults to using '' as the user name. (Bug #27730748) * Improved performance for expression parsing and protocol message encoding.
