MySQL resource for FX Server

Documentation

Introduction

Oxmysql is an alternative to the unmaintained mysql-async/ghmattimysql resources, utilising node-mysql2 rather than mysqljs.

There are several incompatibilities in the provided API, meaning we cannot guarantee 100% success when using a "drag-and-drop" mentality. For convenience we have included @oxmysql/lib/MySQL.lua to replace mysql-async in your resource manifests.

For more information regarding the use of queries, refer to the documentation linked above.

Features

• Support for URI connection strings and semicolon separated values
• Asynchronous queries utilising mysql2/promises connection pool
• Lua promises in the wrapper.lua and lib/MySQL.lua files for improved performance when using sync functions
• Javascript async_retval exports when using recent FX Server builds (requires wrapper.lua to be removed)
• Support for placeholder values (named and unnamed) to improve query speed and increase security against SQL injection
• Improved error checking when placeholders and parameters do not match

Placeholders

This allows queries to be properly prepared and escaped, as well as improve query times for frequently accessed queries.
The following lines are equivalent.

"SELECT group FROM users WHERE identifier = ?", {identifier}  
"SELECT group FROM users WHERE identifier = :identifier", {identifier = identifier}  
"SELECT group FROM users WHERE identifier = @identifier", {['@identifier'] = identifier}

You can also use the following syntax when you are uncertain about the column to select.

"SELECT ?? FROM users WHERE identifier = ?", {column, identifier}  
instead of using  
"SELECT "..column.." FROM users WHERE identifier = ?", {identifier}
