SELECT

The examples below also work for the execute method.

query(sql)

query(sql: string)

promise.js

try {
  const sql = 'SELECT * FROM `users` WHERE `name` = "Page" AND `age` > 45';

  const [rows, fields] = await connection.query(sql);

  console.log(rows);
  console.log(fields);
} catch (err) {
  console.log(err);
}

callback.js

const sql = 'SELECT * FROM `users` WHERE `name` = "Page" AND `age` > 45';

connection.query(sql, (err, rows, fields) => {
  if (err instanceof Error) {
    console.log(err);
    return;
  }

  console.log(rows);
  console.log(fields);
});

• rows contains rows returned by server
• fields contains extra meta data about rows, if available

info

The connection used for the query (.query()) can be obtained through the createConnection, createPool or createPoolCluster methods.

query(options)

query(options: QueryOptions)

promise.js

try {
  const sql = 'SELECT * FROM `users` WHERE `name` = "Page" AND `age` > 45';

  const [rows, fields] = await connection.query({
    sql,
    // ... other options
  });

  console.log(rows);
  console.log(fields);
} catch (err) {
  console.log(err);
}

callback.js

const sql = 'SELECT * FROM `users` WHERE `name` = "Page" AND `age` > 45';

connection.query(
  {
    sql,
    // ... other options
  },
  (err, rows, fields) => {
    if (err instanceof Error) {
      console.log(err);
      return;
    }

    console.log(rows);
    console.log(fields);

query(options: QueryOptions)

promise.js

try {
  const sql = 'SELECT * FROM `users` WHERE `name` = "Page" AND `age` > 45';

  const [rows, fields] = await connection.query({
    sql,
    rowsAsArray: true,
    // ... other options
  });

  console.log(rows);
  console.log(fields);
} catch (err) {
  console.log(err);
}

callback.js

const sql = 'SELECT * FROM `users` WHERE `name` = "Page" AND `age` > 45';

connection.query(
  {
    sql,
    rowsAsArray: true,
    // ... other options
  },
  (err, rows, fields) => {
    if (err instanceof Error) {
      console.log(err);
      return;
    }

    console.log(rows);
    console.log(fields);
