MariaDB Connector/Node.js 3.0.2

3.0.2 (Oct 2022)

Full Changelog

Notable changes

• CONJS-222 permit streaming prepare statement result
  example :

const prepare = await shareConn.prepare('SELECT * FROM mysql.user where host = ?');
const stream = prepare.executeStream(['localhost']);    
try {
  for await (const row of stream) {
    console.log(row);
  }
} catch (e) {
  queryStream.close();
}
prepare.close();

Issues Fixed

• CONJS-223 Metadata column name gets sporadic corrupted
• CONJS-211 Session timezone unset on connection re-use with connection pool
• CONJS-212 when throwing an error when using option leakDetectionTimeout, might result in throwing wrong error with Cannot read properties of null (reading 'leaked')
• CONJS-217 caching_sha2_password never succeed using FAST AUTHENTICATION. With correction, one less exchanges is done when connecting to a MySQL server
• CONJS-219 prepare cache was not limited to prepareCacheLength but can increase up to 2x the prepareCacheLength value, leading to possible ER_MAX_PREPARED_STMT_COUNT_REACHED
• CONJS-228 improving prepare cache performance
• CONJS-226 missing typescript metaAsArray option and documentation
• CONJS-213 update error code with recent MariaDB server
• CONJS-215 Executing after prepare close throw an undescriptive error
• CONJS-221 option debugLen and logParam are not documented
• CONJS-227 Allow setting idleTimeout to 0
• CONJS-214 missing pool.closed typescript definition
• CONJS-216 remove please-upgrade-node dependency
• CONJS-224 missing typescript checkNumberRange option definition

MariaDB Connector/Node.js 3.0.1 GA

3.0.1 (Jul 2022)

Full Changelog

Notable changes

• Error description improvement
  • Pool might return a common error ‘retrieve connection from pool timeout after XXXms’ in place of real error.[CONJS-200]
  • [CONJS-209] Trace option now works when using pool/cluster. It is recommended to activate the trace option in development Since driver is asynchronous, enabling this option to save initial stack when calling any driver methods. This allows having the caller method and line in the error stack, permitting error easy debugging. The problem is this error stack is created using Error.captureStackTrace that is very very slow. To give an idea, this slows down by 10% a query like 'select * from mysql.user LIMIT 1', so not recommended in production.

    const pool = mariadb.createPool({
    host: 'mydb.com',
    user: 'myUser',
    connectionLimit: 5,
    trace: true
    });
    await pool.query('wrong query');
    /* will throw an error like :
      SqlError: (conn=15868, no: 1064, SQLState: 42000) You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use near 'wrong query' at line 1
        sql: wrong query - parameters:[]
          at Object.module.exports.createError (errors.js:57:10)
          at ...
        From event:
          at Function._PARAM (\integration\test-pool.js:60:18)
          at …
        text: "You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use near 'wrong query' at line 1",
        sql: 'wrong query - parameters:[]',
        fatal: false,
        errno: 1064,
        sqlState: '42000',
        code: 'ER_PARSE_ERROR'
    */

  • Pool error description is improved indicating pool information, like [CONJS-208]:

    SqlError: (conn=-1, no: 45028, SQLState: HY000) retrieve connection from pool timeout after 200ms
      (pool connections: active=1 idle=0 limit=1)
      at Object.module.exports.createError
      …

• node.js 18 supported [CONJS-197]
• New option checkNumberRange. When used in conjunction of decimalAsNumber, insertIdAsNumber or bigIntAsNumber, if conversion to number is not exact, connector will throw an error [CONJS-198]. This permits easier compatibility with mysql/mysql2 and 2.x version driver version.
• Performance enhancement for multi-rows resultset. Internal benchmarks show improved performance by 10% for a result-set of 1000 rows.[CONJS-210]

Issues Fixed

• Wrong error returned "Cannot read properties of undefined… … (reading 'charset')" when error during handshake [CONJS-193]
• [CONJS-194] Charset change using parameterized query fails with "Uncaught TypeError: opts.emit is not a function"
• [CONJS-195] Error "cannot mix BigInt and other types" when parsing negative bigint
• [CONJS-196] connection.close() is now really an alias or connection.release()
• [CONJS-199] wrong return type for batch() on typescript
• [CONJS-201] typecast geometry parsing error
• [CONJS-202] support pre 4.1 error format for 'too many connection' error
• [CONJS-203] encoding error for connection attributes when using changeUser with connection attributes
• [CONJS-206] possible race condition on connection destroy when no other connection can be created
• [CONJS-204] handle password array when using authentication plugin “pam_use_cleartext_plugin”
• [CONJS-205] query hanging when using batch with option timeout in place of error thrown

bigIntAsNumber	Whether the query should return BigInt data type as Number. If enable, this might return approximate values.	boolean	false
logger	Permit custom logger configuration. For more information, see the logger option documentation.	mixed

new Connection methods

• connection.prepare(sql) → Promise: Prepares a query.
• connection.execute(sql[, values]) → Promise: Prepare and Executes a query.

• execute use by default a prepared cache that hasn't infinite length.
• implement mariadb 10.6 skipping metadata when possible for better performance
• Doesn't have a unprepare methods.
