2023 mysql2 example

This uses mysql2-async and await to retreive data from a mysql instance contained within a docker container. To use:

1. Install docker desktop or docker.io on linux (first time only).
2. Run docker-compose up in the project folder to start the database.
3. The first time you use this run npm install
4. To run the migrations run npm run migrate
5. To run tests run npm run test
6. Install mysql workbench if you prefer and set up a connection to localhost to view the data

To create more migrations:

1. run node migrate.js create <migration_name>
2. I noticed that when I did that the migration was created, but I needed to do ^c to stop it.
3. put sql in the up.sql file and the down.sql file
