• Tarantool 1.6.5+ with header files (tarantool && tarantool-dev packages)
• MySQL 5.1 header files (libmysqlclient-dev package)

Installation

Clone repository and then build it using CMake:

git clone https://github.com/tarantool/mysql.git tarantool-mysql
cd tarantool-mysql && cmake . -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebugInfo
make
make install

You can also use LuaRocks:

See tarantool/rocks for LuaRocks configuration details.

Usage

local mysql = require('mysql')
local conn = mysql.connect({host = localhost, user = 'user', password = 'password', db = 'db'})
local status, tuples = conn:execute("SELECT ? AS a, 'xx' AS b", 42))
conn:begin()
conn:execute("INSERT INTO test VALUES(1, 2, 3)")
conn:commit()

API Documentation

conn = mysql:connect(opts = {})

Connect to a database.

Options:

• host - a hostname to connect
• port - a port numner to connect
• user - username
• password - a password
• db - a database name
• raise = false - raise an exceptions instead of returning nil, reason in all API functions

Returns:

• connection ~= nil on success
• nil, reason on error if raise is false
• error(reason) on error if raise is true

conn:execute(statement, ...)

Execute a statement with arguments in the current transaction.

Returns:

• true, { { column1 = value, column2 = value }, ... }, { {column1 = value, ... }, ...} on success
• nil, reason on error if raise is false
• error(reason) on error if raise is true

Example:

tarantool> conn:execute("SELECT ? AS a, 'xx' AS b", 42)
---
- - true
- - a: 42
    b: xx
...

conn:begin()

Begin a transaction.

Returns: true

conn:commit()

Commit current transaction.

Returns: true

conn:rollback()

Rollback current transaction.

Returns: true

conn:ping()

Execute a dummy statement to check that connection is alive.

Returns:

• true on success
• false on failure

mysql.pool_create({host = host, port = port, user = user, password = password, db = db, size = size)

Create a connection pool with count of size established connections.

Options:

• host - a hostname to connect
• port - a port numner to connect
• user - username
• password - a password
• db - a database name
• raise = false - raise an exceptions instead of returning nil, reason in all API functions
• size - count of connections in pool

Returns

• pool ~=nil on success
• nil, reason on error if raise is false
• error(reason) on error if raise is true

pool:get()

Get a connection from pool. Reset connection before return it. If connection is broken then it will be reestablished. If there is no free connections then calling fiber will sleep until another fiber returns some connection to pool.

Returns:

• connection ~= nil

pool:put(conn)

Return a connection to connection pool.

Options

• conn - a connection

Comments

All calls to connections api will be serialized, so it should to be safe to use one connection from some count of fibers. But you should understand, that you can have some unwanted behavior across db calls, for example if another fiber 'injects' some sql between two your calls.
