feat(mysql): run the MySQL drivers on the mariadb package, with every value in a prepared statement - #30893
The values never enter the SQL text. Integers are sent as BIGINT, so LIMIT ? works without a CAST.
What this PR changes
The MySQL drivers now copy the Postgres driver's patterns, differing only where MySQL forces it.
Both MySQL drivers, runtime and control, use the mariadb npm package (pinned at 3.5.4) instead of mysql2.
A statement with values runs as a prepared statement, and is closed after it runs. A statement without values runs over the text protocol, as pg runs one.
A query reads its whole result before the first row, as the Postgres facade does without cursor. mysql({ stream: true }) streams rows instead.
Codecs send what MySQL reads for each data type, as the Postgres codecs do: the bigint codec sends decimal text, as pg/int8@1 does. The renderer writes no parameter casts, as the Postgres renderer writes none for integers. The driver sends a JavaScript integer as BIGINT, because the binary protocol needs a type for each value.
Both drivers return every row value as text, a Uint8Array or null, as the driver interface requires, in one form whichever protocol carried it.
The target declares the UTC time zone as its session setting, as the Postgres target declares DateStyle. The driver sets it with a prepared SET, so no value goes into SQL text.
Errors take the family's types, as on Postgres: connection failures are SqlConnectionError, a refused sign-in, a refused connection or an unknown host fails the waiting statements at once, as pg.Pool rejects a pending connect, and a duplicate key is SQLSTATE 23505.
Pool settings are poolOptions on mysql(), TLS settings are pg-connection-string's URL parameters, and mysql() checks the mysql:// scheme, as postgres() does.
Nothing changes outside the MySQL packages, the MySQL example, test/utils and CI. packages/1-framework and packages/2-sql-family are untouched.
Why mariadb
Prisma 7's @prisma/adapter-mariadb uses mariadb for both MySQL and MariaDB. Prisma moved to it in 2025 after a mysql2 adapter held about 40 MB more memory per test run and never released it. 3.5.4 is the minimum: earlier versions corrupt rows under prepared statements in some type conversions, and can hang.
Placeholders
The Postgres and SQLite renderers number each parameter node once and write that number wherever the node appears ($1, ?1). The MySQL renderer does the same and writes ?N. MySQL's ? takes values by position and cannot carry a number. So the driver rewrites each ?N to ? and lists the values in placeholder order, sending a value twice when its placeholder appears twice (packages/3-targets/mysql/3-driver/src/core/positional-params.ts). It reads the SQL with a MySQL lexer, so a ?1 inside a string or comment in raw SQL is left alone.
Statements
A statement with values runs through prepare, execute and close. A statement without values runs over the text protocol, as pg uses its simple query protocol when there are no values. Nothing is written into such a statement and multiple statements per call are off, so there is nothing to inject, and raw START TRANSACTION and LOCK TABLES, which MySQL refuses to prepare, run. Transactions use the package's beginTransaction, commit and rollback.
No statement is reused. Postgres reuses a statement only through the caller's prepared-statement handle, and ADR 210 lets a driver ignore the handle. MySQL forces that choice twice:
MySQL caps open prepared statements across all connections at 16,382 by default, and a statement kept per handle on every pooled connection has no limit of its own. Prisma 7.5.0 shipped with the package's cache on and users hit the cap within two weeks.
Since MySQL 8.0.22 a reused statement keeps the parameter types of its first run. A probe stored '9007199254740993' as 9007199254740992 after the first run sent a fraction.
The cost is one extra round trip per statement on MySQL.
Sending and reading values
Parameter types. As on Postgres, codecs return what the database reads for each data type: the int codec a number, the bigint codec decimal text. The renderer writes every parameter as a bare ?N, as the Postgres renderer writes $N for integers, and MySQL infers the type from where the parameter stands: a decimal text parameter beside a bigint column is compared and stored exactly. Where nothing gives a parameter a type, as in ?1 + ?2 in raw SQL, the author writes the cast, as on Postgres. LIMIT ? takes only a bare placeholder, so a cast could not go there anyway.
JavaScript numbers. The binary protocol needs a type for each value, which pg never chooses. The package sends a number as INT only up to 2^31 − 2, otherwise as DOUBLE, which LIMIT ? refuses. The driver sends every integer in the signed 64-bit range as BIGINT, and any other number as DOUBLE.
Out-of-range bigints are refused before sending, without the value in the error. Below −2^63 the package throws inside a socket callback and crashes the process.
Reads. The driver interface says rows reach codecs as text, bytes or null (ADR 155). The Postgres driver configures pg so it parses nothing. The MySQL drivers do the same through the package's typeCast hook (text-or-bytes.ts): binary strings, blobs, BIT, GEOMETRY and any type the package does not know (MySQL 9's VECTOR) as a Uint8Array, everything else as text. The text protocol and the binary protocol write five kinds of column differently, so the hook gives each the form MySQL writes over the text protocol, as Postgres returns the server's text: YEAR, ZEROFILL integers, TIME, FLOAT and DOUBLE. A FLOAT holding 0.1 reads 0.1, a DOUBLE holding 1e20 reads 1e20, and negative zero reads -0, from either protocol. A column declared with decimals reads with exactly those decimals, as MySQL writes it: a FLOAT(12,6) holding 1234.5677 reads 1234.567749, a DOUBLE(10,2) holding 1.5 reads 1.50, and negative zero in such a computed column reads -0.00. Probes of 54,992 FLOAT and DOUBLE values, and of 56,070 values in 14 columns declared with 0 to 30 decimals, on MySQL 9.6 found the driver's text equal to MySQL's from both protocols.
Errors. The package defaults logParam to true, which appends parameter values to error messages; the driver sets it to false. MySQL's own message can still quote a value, as Postgres's does.
Connections
The target declares sessionSettings: { time_zone: '+00:00' }, as the Postgres target declares DateStyle, and the stack passes it to both drivers. The pool sets up each physical connection once through initSql with the SQL mode and utf8mb4 the driver's placeholder lexer needs, which hold no value. The target's settings are values, so the driver sets them with one prepared SET SESSION the first time it takes each connection, as the Postgres driver sets them with set_config($1, $2) on a pool it did not start; decimal integer text goes as a number, because MySQL refuses text for an integer variable. A connection goes back to the pool unchanged after each statement, with no reset, as on Postgres.
The pool follows pg.Pool: it opens connections on demand, closes one idle for 30 seconds, and waits 20 seconds for a connection. mysql({ poolOptions }) takes connectionTimeoutMillis and idleTimeoutMillis, as postgres() does, plus max. A Postgres user sizes a pool by passing their own pg.Pool; the MySQL driver cannot take one, because it depends on capability flags fixed when each connection signs in (foundRows, multipleStatements, permitLocalInfile), which it can neither set nor check on a pool it did not build. The URL takes pg-connection-string's TLS parameters: ssl, sslmode, and sslcert, sslkey and sslrootcert as PEM files. Any other parameter is ignored, as pg ignores it. charset is refused, because the lexer needs utf8mb4, and sslcert without sslkey is refused with a message saying that Prisma 7's sslcert, the server's CA, is now sslrootcert. The package never follows a server's redirect to another host, as pg never does.
A query reads its whole result before the first row, so a statement awaited inside the loop over a query in a transaction runs, as on Postgres without cursor. With stream: true, rows stream through executeStream, which pauses the socket while the caller is busy, and a statement sent on the same connection waits for the stream, as on Postgres with cursor. MySQL cannot cancel a running statement on its own connection, so when a caller stops a pooled stream early:
If the whole result has already arrived, the driver drops the buffered rows and returns the connection to the pool. It detects this through Node's internal _readableState.ended. If that field ever disappears, the driver falls back to the next case.
Otherwise it destroys the connection, so a large result is not downloaded only to be discarded. The package opens one short connection to send KILL.
Statements on a held connection reach the server in the order they are sent, as under the Postgres driver's per-client lock. The driver copies that lock: a statement holds its client's lock until it settles, and a stream for its whole life. Without it, a rollback sent while a prepared statement waited for MySQL's answer to its prepare ran first. Releasing a held connection with a statement still running destroys it, because the package's release would otherwise wait forever.
Authentication, and the CI change
MySQL 8.4's default caching_sha2_password fails over plain TCP unless the connection uses TLS or the client may fetch the server's public key. mysql2 fetched the key silently. mariadb does not, and fails with error 45044. The control driver reports it as DRIVER.CONNECTION_FAILED with a fix naming both options; the runtime driver as a SqlConnectionError that is not transient, whose message names them. The pool keeps retrying a connection until its timeout, pausing longer after each failure. The package reports each failure to its logger.error as it happens, and every failed statement too, so the runtime driver reacts only to a fatal error no retry gets past: this one, failing session setup, a refused sign-in, which is the SqlQueryError MySQL raised, as Postgres reports 28P01, and a refused connection or an unknown host, which are not transient, as on Postgres. It fails the waiting statements at once, as pg.Pool rejects a pending connect, and keeps no failure, as pg.Pool keeps none. A later statement waits for the pool's next attempt. That is one difference from pg.Pool, which tries each connect at once. The package's retries and pauses are fixed and the driver does not work around them: within one attempt it retries a refused connection every 500 ms, and after each failed attempt it pauses 200 ms longer, up to 10 seconds. Measured on MySQL 9.6, statements sent one after another after a refused sign-in failed in 6, 202, 403 and so on up to 1,403 ms; after a refused connection, at least 500 ms each, growing with the pauses up to about 10 seconds. A second difference: the package cannot remove a request from its queue, so each failed statement leaves one there until the pool serves it or connectionTimeoutMillis ends. The driver returns a connection served to such a request straight to the pool. After 500 failed statements, the first statement once the server was back ran after 589 ms, behind them. Once the server is back, the next statement runs. CI's MySQL service has no TLS, so MYSQL_URL in .github/workflows/ci.yml adds allowPublicKeyRetrieval=true. The READMEs and the example do the same for local URLs. test/utils now passes the URL's TLS parameters through when it creates test databases.
Tests
Run against a local MySQL 9.6 server (MYSQL_URL=mysql://root@127.0.0.1:3362/):
Driver: placeholder rewriting with repeated and quoted placeholders; integer and bigint range checks; every column type read as text or bytes over the text protocol and prepared, FLOAT and DOUBLE text as MySQL writes it, negative zero and declared decimals included, and the five kinds that differ between protocols read in one form through both drivers with and without values; raw START TRANSACTION and LOCK TABLES; a statement on a transaction waiting for a stream whose rows are still arriving; a prepared statement sent before a rollback being rolled back; no connection opened before the first statement; session settings set with a prepared SET, an integer setting among them; a wrong password and a missing public key failing the waiting statement at once and not transient; a refused connection failing at once and not transient, and a statement running once the server accepts connections again; a connection the pool hands to a statement that already failed going straight back to the pool, so the next statement runs on a pool of one connection; negative zero in a computed column declared with decimals keeping its sign; a statement waiting for a connection running after another statement fails with error 1524; early stop returning or destroying the connection; prepared statements closed after each run; and errors carrying no values or password, checked on a statement MySQL refuses when it runs, so the test fails with logParam on.
Facade: a statement awaited inside the loop over a large result in db.transaction, which hangs when the driver streams; the mysql:// scheme check; stream checked when mysql() is called; stream and poolOptions reaching the driver.
Adapter, target, example and test/utils tests pass.
Lint, typecheck, coverage thresholds, lint:deps, ratchets and the upgrade-instructions check pass.
Alternatives considered
Keep mysql2. Prisma abandoned it in 2025 for memory growth. It sends a bigint as text, which forced the integer casts, and needs a 2026 release for LIMIT ? with a number.
The text protocol for statements with values, as Drizzle and Kysely use. It writes values into the SQL on the client, which is what this design exists to avoid.
A SQL family change, in which the lowered statement lists which parameter each placeholder takes. It adds a field to the shared adapter-to-driver contract for one target. The rewrite stays in the MySQL driver instead.
A statement cache, keyed on SQL text (the first draft's statementCacheSize) or on the prepared-statement handle. Rejected for the server-wide limit and the type problem above.
Integer casts in the adapter (CAST(?N AS SIGNED)), as main had for mysql2. The Postgres adapter writes none for integers, and MySQL infers the type beside a column as Postgres does.
Streaming by default. It made a statement awaited inside the loop over a query hang where Postgres runs it.
Reset the connection on release. The package ignores it on MySQL.
Always destroy the connection on early stop. Opening connections is expensive, so the driver keeps it whenever the result has fully arrived.

Replace mysql2 with mariadb 3.5.4 in the runtime and control drivers, the
public MySQL package, the test utilities and the MySQL example, as the
approved driver design describes.
Every runtime statement, raw SQL included, runs as a server-side prepared
statement through prepare() and execute() or executeStream(), and is closed
after it runs; transactions use beginTransaction(), commit() and rollback().
The prepared-statement cache is off unless statementCacheSize sets
prepareCacheLength. Every integer is sent as a BIGINT, an integer outside the
signed 64-bit range and a Date are refused, and a Uint8Array is sent as a
Buffer. Rows read BIGINT as a bigint, DECIMAL, dates and JSON as text. The
pool runs the session setup through initSql, has an error listener, and
destroys a connection only when it is lost or a pooled stream stops early.
A lost connection (fatal, 45009) is DRIVER.NOT_CONNECTED. The URL accepts
TLS settings and allowPublicKeyRetrieval, validated with arktype; flags is
no longer read.

The MySQL driver now sends every integer as a 64-bit BIGINT, so MySQL reads
an integer parameter as an integer even where no column gives it a type,
as in ?1 < ?2 or LIMIT ?1. The renderer no longer writes an int or bigint
parameter as CAST(?N AS SIGNED), and no longer reads raw SQL to find the
operands of LIMIT and OFFSET. NO_LIMIT stays. The error reference and the
READMEs describe the mariadb driver.

… that already mean that
MySQL's own errors, including 1295 (cannot prepare this statement) and
1461 (too many prepared statements), are now SqlQueryErrors with their
SQLSTATE, like every other server error; the driver's explanation goes
in `detail`. DRIVER.PREPARE_FAILED keeps its single meaning.
A parameter value the driver cannot send is RUNTIME.ENCODE_FAILED, as
the SQLite driver reports a NaN. A whole number outside the signed
64-bit range is sent as the double it is instead of being refused.
A sign-in that needs the server's public key (package error 45044) is
DRIVER.CONNECTION_FAILED with a fix that names allowPublicKeyRetrieval
and TLS, from the pool and from the control driver.

…se statements behind an open stream
A pooled stream the caller stops early now reads and drops the rest
and returns the connection when the package has already received the
end of the result. It destroys the connection only while the rest is
still arriving, since MySQL does not say how many rows remain. Live
tests count the server connections of a user of their own.
A statement, commit or rollback on a held connection or transaction
while a stream on that connection is open now fails at once with
DRIVER.CONNECTION_BUSY, instead of waiting forever for a stream whose
caller waits for the statement.
A fatal error during prepare now destroys the connection on query() as
it does on execute(). Unit tests show a non-fatal stream, execute or
prepare error returns the connection to the pool.

Walkthrough
The MySQL adapter and driver now use MariaDB APIs. The changes update parameter handling, connection and session configuration, query execution, result conversion, error mapping, and streaming. The facade, examples, tests, documentation, and package dependencies also reflect the migration.
Changes: MySQL driver migration
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Adapter parameters and codecs packages/3-targets/mysql/1-target/*, packages/3-targets/mysql/2-adapter/*
The adapter emits bare placeholders instead of integer casts. The bigint codec uses decimal text for wire parameters, and the runtime target declares its UTC session setting.
MariaDB connection and session configuration packages/3-targets/mysql/3-driver/src/core/connection-options.ts, packages/3-targets/mysql/3-driver/src/core/session-settings.ts, packages/3-targets/mysql/3-driver/src/core/normalize-error.ts, packages/3-targets/mysql/3-driver/test/connection-options.test.ts, packages/3-targets/mysql/3-driver/test/normalize-error.test.ts
The driver configures MariaDB connection and pool options, validates TLS and public-key URL settings, applies session settings, and maps driver errors. Tests cover configuration and error handling.
Control queries, parameter binding, and result conversion packages/3-targets/mysql/3-driver/src/core/migrations/*, packages/3-targets/mysql/3-driver/src/core/parameter-values.ts, packages/3-targets/mysql/3-driver/src/core/placeholder-count.ts, packages/3-targets/mysql/3-driver/src/core/positional-params.ts, packages/3-targets/mysql/3-driver/src/core/text-or-bytes.ts, packages/3-targets/mysql/3-driver/test/control-driver*, packages/3-targets/mysql/3-driver/test/positional-params.test.ts, packages/3-targets/mysql/3-driver/test/text-or-bytes.test.ts
The control driver uses MariaDB text and prepared-query APIs. Parameter conversion validates supported values, and column reads return text or bytes based on type and collation.
Runtime queries and stream lifecycle packages/3-targets/mysql/3-driver/src/core/runtime/*, packages/3-targets/mysql/3-driver/test/runtime-driver*
The runtime driver supports text and prepared queries, optional streaming, ordered transaction operations, and connection cleanup during errors and shutdown.
The facade validates MySQL URLs and forwards stream and pool options. Examples and test utilities use MariaDB connections. CI URLs include public-key retrieval settings, and package dependencies change from mysql2 to mariadb.

As decimal text, a bigint added to another parameter in raw SQL is
computed as a double, because MySQL types a text parameter from where it is

The package's release sends ROLLBACK behind the open stream and waits for
it, so release() never returned and close() hung. The connection now counts
its running statements, shared with its transactions as the Postgres driver
shares its transaction state, and release() destroys it while one runs.
Postgres's release returns at once because pg does not wait on the server.

- A query reads its whole result before the first row unless the driver is
created with stream: true, as the Postgres facade sets cursor: disabled.
- A statement without values runs over the text protocol, as pg runs one, so
raw START TRANSACTION and LOCK TABLES run.
- Statements on a held connection reach the server in the order sent; a
prepared statement sent before a rollback no longer runs after it.
- The session settings the stack passes go into each connection's setup;
time_zone is no longer hard-coded.
- Pool settings come from create options named as the Postgres facade's
poolOptions; the pool opens connections on demand and closes idle ones
after 30 seconds, as pg.Pool does.
- TLS settings are read as pg-connection-string reads them: ssl, sslmode,

- statementCacheSize is gone: each statement is prepared, run and closed.
- Queryables use acquireClient and releaseClient, as the Postgres driver does.

…t already failed goes straight back to the pool
The package has no way to remove a request from its queue: the queue is a
private field and its only exits are being served, timing out at
acquireTimeout (connectionTimeoutMillis) and the pool ending. So a statement
the driver fails while it waits leaves its request queued, as before. When the
pool later serves that request, the driver returns the connection to the pool
at once. The test fails five statements against a refused port on a pool of
one connection, lets the server accept connections, and runs two statements
on that one connection before the timeout. With the release removed it fails.

…e queued request each failed statement leaves
Commit 00fc489 said the old code left a request in the pool's queue for
each failed statement. The new code does too: the package cannot remove a
request from its queue. The docs now say so, and that the driver returns a
connection served to such a request straight to the pool.
They also correct "up to 500 ms" for a refused connection: the package
retries every 500 ms only within one attempt, then pauses 200 ms longer after
each failed attempt, up to 10 seconds. The measured waits replace it. And
negative zero in a computed column declared with decimals reads -0.00.

The MySQL adapter renders a query whose parameter appears twice:
The driver now runs it on the
mariadbpackage as a server-side prepared statement:The values never enter the SQL text. Integers are sent as BIGINT, so
LIMIT ?works without aCAST.What this PR changes

mariadbnpm package (pinned at 3.5.4) instead ofmysql2.pgruns one.cursor.mysql({ stream: true })streams rows instead.pg/int8@1does. The renderer writes no parameter casts, as the Postgres renderer writes none for integers. The driver sends a JavaScript integer as BIGINT, because the binary protocol needs a type for each value.Uint8Arrayor null, as the driver interface requires, in one form whichever protocol carried it.DateStyle. The driver sets it with a preparedSET, so no value goes into SQL text.SqlConnectionError, a refused sign-in, a refused connection or an unknown host fails the waiting statements at once, aspg.Poolrejects a pending connect, and a duplicate key is SQLSTATE23505.poolOptionsonmysql(), TLS settings arepg-connection-string's URL parameters, andmysql()checks themysql://scheme, aspostgres()does.MYSQL_URLgains?allowPublicKeyRetrieval=true.Nothing changes outside the MySQL packages, the MySQL example,
test/utilsand CI.packages/1-frameworkandpackages/2-sql-familyare untouched.Why
mariadbPrisma 7's
@prisma/adapter-mariadbusesmariadbfor both MySQL and MariaDB. Prisma moved to it in 2025 after amysql2adapter held about 40 MB more memory per test run and never released it. 3.5.4 is the minimum: earlier versions corrupt rows under prepared statements in some type conversions, and can hang.Placeholders
The Postgres and SQLite renderers number each parameter node once and write that number wherever the node appears (
$1,?1). The MySQL renderer does the same and writes?N. MySQL's?takes values by position and cannot carry a number. So the driver rewrites each?Nto?and lists the values in placeholder order, sending a value twice when its placeholder appears twice (packages/3-targets/mysql/3-driver/src/core/positional-params.ts). It reads the SQL with a MySQL lexer, so a?1inside a string or comment in raw SQL is left alone.Statements
A statement with values runs through
prepare,executeandclose. A statement without values runs over the text protocol, aspguses its simple query protocol when there are no values. Nothing is written into such a statement and multiple statements per call are off, so there is nothing to inject, and rawSTART TRANSACTIONandLOCK TABLES, which MySQL refuses to prepare, run. Transactions use the package'sbeginTransaction,commitandrollback.No statement is reused. Postgres reuses a statement only through the caller's prepared-statement handle, and ADR 210 lets a driver ignore the handle. MySQL forces that choice twice:
'9007199254740993'as9007199254740992after the first run sent a fraction.The cost is one extra round trip per statement on MySQL.
Sending and reading values
?N, as the Postgres renderer writes$Nfor integers, and MySQL infers the type from where the parameter stands: a decimal text parameter beside abigintcolumn is compared and stored exactly. Where nothing gives a parameter a type, as in?1 + ?2in raw SQL, the author writes the cast, as on Postgres.LIMIT ?takes only a bare placeholder, so a cast could not go there anyway.pgnever chooses. The package sends a number as INT only up to 2^31 − 2, otherwise as DOUBLE, whichLIMIT ?refuses. The driver sends every integer in the signed 64-bit range as BIGINT, and any other number as DOUBLE.bigints are refused before sending, without the value in the error. Below −2^63 the package throws inside a socket callback and crashes the process.pgso it parses nothing. The MySQL drivers do the same through the package'stypeCasthook (text-or-bytes.ts): binary strings, blobs, BIT, GEOMETRY and any type the package does not know (MySQL 9's VECTOR) as aUint8Array, everything else as text. The text protocol and the binary protocol write five kinds of column differently, so the hook gives each the form MySQL writes over the text protocol, as Postgres returns the server's text: YEAR, ZEROFILL integers, TIME, FLOAT and DOUBLE. A FLOAT holding 0.1 reads0.1, a DOUBLE holding 1e20 reads1e20, and negative zero reads-0, from either protocol. A column declared with decimals reads with exactly those decimals, as MySQL writes it: aFLOAT(12,6)holding 1234.5677 reads1234.567749, aDOUBLE(10,2)holding 1.5 reads1.50, and negative zero in such a computed column reads-0.00. Probes of 54,992 FLOAT and DOUBLE values, and of 56,070 values in 14 columns declared with 0 to 30 decimals, on MySQL 9.6 found the driver's text equal to MySQL's from both protocols.logParamto true, which appends parameter values to error messages; the driver sets it to false. MySQL's own message can still quote a value, as Postgres's does.Connections
The target declares
sessionSettings: { time_zone: '+00:00' }, as the Postgres target declaresDateStyle, and the stack passes it to both drivers. The pool sets up each physical connection once throughinitSqlwith the SQL mode and utf8mb4 the driver's placeholder lexer needs, which hold no value. The target's settings are values, so the driver sets them with one preparedSET SESSIONthe first time it takes each connection, as the Postgres driver sets them withset_config($1, $2)on a pool it did not start; decimal integer text goes as a number, because MySQL refuses text for an integer variable. A connection goes back to the pool unchanged after each statement, with no reset, as on Postgres.The pool follows
pg.Pool: it opens connections on demand, closes one idle for 30 seconds, and waits 20 seconds for a connection.mysql({ poolOptions })takesconnectionTimeoutMillisandidleTimeoutMillis, aspostgres()does, plusmax. A Postgres user sizes a pool by passing their ownpg.Pool; the MySQL driver cannot take one, because it depends on capability flags fixed when each connection signs in (foundRows,multipleStatements,permitLocalInfile), which it can neither set nor check on a pool it did not build. The URL takespg-connection-string's TLS parameters:ssl,sslmode, andsslcert,sslkeyandsslrootcertas PEM files. Any other parameter is ignored, aspgignores it.charsetis refused, because the lexer needs utf8mb4, andsslcertwithoutsslkeyis refused with a message saying that Prisma 7'ssslcert, the server's CA, is nowsslrootcert. The package never follows a server's redirect to another host, aspgnever does.A query reads its whole result before the first row, so a statement awaited inside the loop over a query in a transaction runs, as on Postgres without
cursor. Withstream: true, rows stream throughexecuteStream, which pauses the socket while the caller is busy, and a statement sent on the same connection waits for the stream, as on Postgres withcursor. MySQL cannot cancel a running statement on its own connection, so when a caller stops a pooled stream early:_readableState.ended. If that field ever disappears, the driver falls back to the next case.KILL.Statements on a held connection reach the server in the order they are sent, as under the Postgres driver's per-client lock. The driver copies that lock: a statement holds its client's lock until it settles, and a stream for its whole life. Without it, a rollback sent while a prepared statement waited for MySQL's answer to its prepare ran first. Releasing a held connection with a statement still running destroys it, because the package's release would otherwise wait forever.
Authentication, and the CI change
MySQL 8.4's default
caching_sha2_passwordfails over plain TCP unless the connection uses TLS or the client may fetch the server's public key.mysql2fetched the key silently.mariadbdoes not, and fails with error 45044. The control driver reports it asDRIVER.CONNECTION_FAILEDwith a fix naming both options; the runtime driver as aSqlConnectionErrorthat is not transient, whose message names them. The pool keeps retrying a connection until its timeout, pausing longer after each failure. The package reports each failure to itslogger.erroras it happens, and every failed statement too, so the runtime driver reacts only to a fatal error no retry gets past: this one, failing session setup, a refused sign-in, which is theSqlQueryErrorMySQL raised, as Postgres reports 28P01, and a refused connection or an unknown host, which are not transient, as on Postgres. It fails the waiting statements at once, aspg.Poolrejects a pending connect, and keeps no failure, aspg.Poolkeeps none. A later statement waits for the pool's next attempt. That is one difference frompg.Pool, which tries each connect at once. The package's retries and pauses are fixed and the driver does not work around them: within one attempt it retries a refused connection every 500 ms, and after each failed attempt it pauses 200 ms longer, up to 10 seconds. Measured on MySQL 9.6, statements sent one after another after a refused sign-in failed in 6, 202, 403 and so on up to 1,403 ms; after a refused connection, at least 500 ms each, growing with the pauses up to about 10 seconds. A second difference: the package cannot remove a request from its queue, so each failed statement leaves one there until the pool serves it orconnectionTimeoutMillisends. The driver returns a connection served to such a request straight to the pool. After 500 failed statements, the first statement once the server was back ran after 589 ms, behind them. Once the server is back, the next statement runs. CI's MySQL service has no TLS, soMYSQL_URLin.github/workflows/ci.ymladdsallowPublicKeyRetrieval=true.
