=head1 Name

lua-resty-mysql - Lua MySQL client driver for ngx_lua based on the cosocket API


=head1 Status

This library is considered production ready.


=head1 Description

This Lua library is a MySQL client driver for the ngx_lua nginx module:

https://github.com/openresty/lua-nginx-module

This Lua library takes advantage of ngx_lua's cosocket API, which ensures
100% nonblocking behavior.

Note that at least L<ngx_lua 0.9.11|https://github.com/chaoslawful/lua-nginx-module/tags> or L<ngx_openresty 1.7.4.1|http://openresty.org/#Download> is required.

Also, the L<bit library|http://bitop.luajit.org/> is also required. If you're using LuaJIT 2 with ngx_lua, then the C<bit> library is already available by default.

=head1 Methods




=head2 new

C<syntax: db, err = mysql:new()>

Creates a MySQL connection object. In case of failures, returns C<nil> and a string describing the error.




=head2 connect

C<syntax: ok, err, errcode, sqlstate = db:connect(options)>

Attempts to connect to the remote MySQL server.

The C<options> argument is a Lua table holding the following keys:


=over


=item *

C<host>

the host name for the MySQL server.

=item *

C<port>

the port that the MySQL server is listening on. Default to 3306.

=item *

C<path>

the path of the unix socket file listened by the MySQL server.

=item *

C<database>

the MySQL database name.

=item *

C<user>

MySQL account name for login.

=item *

C<password>

MySQL account password for login (in clear text).

=item *

C<charset>

the character set used on the MySQL connection, which can be different from the default charset setting.
The following values are accepted: C<big5>, C<dec8>, C<cp850>, C<hp8>, C<koi8r>, C<latin1>, C<latin2>,
C<swe7>, C<ascii>, C<ujis>, C<sjis>, C<hebrew>, C<tis620>, C<euckr>, C<koi8u>, C<gb2312>, C<greek>,
C<cp1250>, C<gbk>, C<latin5>, C<armscii8>, C<utf8>, C<ucs2>, C<cp866>, C<keybcs2>, C<macce>,
C<macroman>, C<cp852>, C<latin7>, C<utf8mb4>, C<cp1251>, C<utf16>, C<utf16le>, C<cp1256>,
C<cp1257>, C<utf32>, C<binary>, C<geostd8>, C<cp932>, C<eucjpms>, C<gb18030>.

=item *

C<max_packet_size>

the upper limit for the reply packets sent from the MySQL server (default to 1MB).

=item *

C<ssl>

If set to C<true>, then uses SSL to connect to MySQL (default to C<false>). If the MySQL
server does not have SSL support
(or just disabled), the error string "ssl disabled on server" will be returned.

=item *

C<ssl_verify>

If set to C<true>, then verifies the validity of the server SSL certificate (default to C<false>).
Note that you need to configure the L<lua_ssl_trusted_certificate|https://github.com/openresty/lua-nginx-module#lua_ssl_trusted_certificate>
to specify the CA (or server) certificate used by your MySQL server. You may also
need to configure L<lua_ssl_verify_depth|https://github.com/openresty/lua-nginx-module#lua_ssl_verify_depth>
accordingly.

=item *

C<pool>

the name for the MySQL connection pool. if omitted, an ambiguous pool name will be generated automatically with the string template C<user:database:host:port> or C<user:database:path>. (this option was first introduced in C<v0.08>.)


=back


=over


=item *

C<pool_size>

Specifies the size of the connection pool. If omitted and no C<backlog> option was provided, no pool will be created. If omitted but C<backlog> was provided, the pool will be created with a default size equal to the value of the L<lua_socket_pool_size|https://github.com/openresty/lua-nginx-module#lua_socket_pool_size> directive. The connection pool holds up to C<pool_size> alive connections ready to be reused by subsequent calls to L<connect>, but note that there is no upper limit to the total number of opened connections outside of the pool. If you need to restrict the total number of opened connections, specify the C<backlog> option. When the connection pool would exceed its size limit, the least recently used (kept-alive) connection already in the pool will be closed to make room for the current connection. Note that the cosocket connection pool is per Nginx worker process rather than per Nginx server instance, so the size limit specified here also applies to every single Nginx worker process. Also note that the size of the connection pool cannot be changed once it has been created. Note that at least L<ngx_lua 0.10.14|https://github.com/openresty/lua-nginx-module/tags> is required to use this options.


=back


=over


=item *

C<backlog>

If specified, this module will limit the total number of opened connections for this pool. No more connections than C<pool_size> can be opened for this pool at any time. If the connection pool is full, subsequent connect operations will be queued into a queue equal to this option's value (the "backlog" queue). If the number of queued connect operations is equal to C<backlog>, subsequent connect operations will fail and return nil plus the error string C<"too many waiting connect operations">. The queued connect operations will be resumed once the number of connections in the pool is less than C<pool_size>. The queued connect operation will abort once they have been queued for more than C<connect_timeout>, controlled by L<set_timeout>, and will return nil plus the error string "timeout". Note that at least L<ngx_lua 0.10.14|https://github.com/openresty/lua-nginx-module/tags> is required to use this options.


=back


=over


=item *

C<compact_arrays>

when this option is set to true, then the L<query> and L<read_result> methods will return the array-of-arrays structure for the resultset, rather than the default array-of-hashes structure.


=back

Before actually resolving the host name and connecting to the remote backend, this method will always look up the connection pool for matched idle connections created by previous calls of this method.




=head2 set_timeout

C<syntax: db:set_timeout(time)>

Sets the timeout (in ms) protection for subsequent operations, including the C<connect> method.




=head2 set_keepalive

C<syntax: ok, err = db:set_keepalive(max_idle_timeout, pool_size)>

Puts the current MySQL connection immediately into the ngx_lua cosocket connection pool.

You can specify the max idle timeout (in ms) when the connection is in the pool and the maximal size of the pool every nginx worker process.

In case of success, returns C<1>. In case of errors, returns C<nil> with a string describing the error.

Only call this method in the place you would have called the C<close> method instead. Calling this method will immediately turn the current C<resty.mysql> object into the C<closed> state. Any subsequent operations other than C<connect()> on the current objet will return the C<closed> error.




=head2 get_reused_times

C<syntax: times, err = db:get_reused_times()>

This method returns the (successfully) reused times for the current connection. In case of error, it returns C<nil> and a string describing the error.

If the current connection does not come from the built-in connection pool, then this method always returns C<0>, that is, the connection has never been reused (yet). If the connection comes from the connection pool, then the return value is always non-zero. So this method can also be used to determine if the current connection comes from the pool.




=head2 close

C<syntax: ok, err = db:close()>

Closes the current mysql connection and returns the status.

In case of success, returns C<1>. In case of errors, returns C<nil> with a string describing the error.




=head2 send_query

C<syntax: bytes, err = db:send_query(query)>

Sends the query to the remote MySQL server without waiting for its replies.

Returns the bytes successfully sent out in success and otherwise returns C<nil> and a string describing the error.

You should use the L<read_result> method to read the MySQL replies afterwards.




=head2 read_result

C<syntax: res, err, errcode, sqlstate = db:read_result()>

C<syntax: res, err, errcode, sqlstate = db:read_result(nrows)>

Reads in one result returned from the MySQL server.

It returns a Lua table (C<res>) describing the MySQL C<OK packet> or C<result set packet> for the query result.

For queries corresponding to a result set, it returns an array holding all the rows. Each row holds key-value pairs for each data fields. For instance,


        {
            { name = "Bob", age = 32, phone = ngx.null },
            { name = "Marry", age = 18, phone = "10666372"}
        }

For queries that do not correspond to a result set, it returns a Lua table like this:


        {
            insert_id = 0,
            server_status = 2,
            warning_count = 1,
            affected_rows = 32,
            message = nil
        }

If more results are following the current result, a second C<err> return value will be given the string C<again>. One should always check this (second) return value and if it is C<again>, then she should call this method again to retrieve more results. This usually happens when the original query contains multiple statements (separated by semicolon in the same query string) or calling a MySQL procedure. See also L<Multi-Resultset Support>.

In case of errors, this method returns at most 4 values: C<nil>, C<err>, C<errcode>, and C<sqlstate>. The C<err> return value contains a string describing the error, the C<errcode> return value holds the MySQL error code (a numerical value), and finally, the C<sqlstate> return value contains the standard SQL error code that consists of 5 characters. Note that, the C<errcode> and C<sqlstate> might be C<nil> if MySQL does not return them.

The optional argument C<nrows> can be used to specify an approximate number of rows for the result set. This value can be used
to pre-allocate space in the resulting Lua table for the result set. By default, it takes the value 4.




=head2 query

C<syntax: res, err, errcode, sqlstate = db:query(query)>

C<syntax: res, err, errcode, sqlstate = db:query(query, nrows)>

This is a shortcut for combining the L<send_query> call and the first L<read_result> call.

You should always check if the C<err> return value  is C<again> in case of success because this method will only call L<read_result> only once for you. See also L<Multi-Resultset Support>.




=head2 server_ver

C<syntax: str = db:server_ver()>

Returns the MySQL server version string, like C<"5.1.64">.

You should only call this method after successfully connecting to a MySQL server, otherwise C<nil> will be returned.




=head2 set_compact_arrays

C<syntax: db:set_compact_arrays(boolean)>

Sets whether to use the "compact-arrays" structure for the resultsets returned by subsequent queries. See the C<compact_arrays> option for the C<connect> method for more details.

This method was first introduced in the C<v0.09> release.




=head1 SQL Literal Quoting

It is always important to quote SQL literals properly to prevent SQL injection attacks. You can use the
L<ngx.quote_sql_str|https://github.com/openresty/lua-nginx-module#ngxquote_sql_str> function provided by ngx_lua to quote values.
Here is an example:


        local name = ngx.unescape_uri(ngx.var.arg_name)
        local quoted_name = ngx.quote_sql_str(name)
        local sql = "select * from users where name = " .. quoted_name




=head1 Multi-Resultset Support

For a SQL query that produces multiple result-sets, it is always your duty to check the "again" error message returned by the L<query> or L<read_result> method calls, and keep pulling more result sets by calling the L<read_result> method until no "again" error message returned (or some other errors happen).

Below is a trivial example for this:


        local cjson = require "cjson"
        local mysql = require "resty.mysql"
    
        local db = mysql:new()
        local ok, err, errcode, sqlstate = db:connect({
            host = "127.0.0.1",
            port = 3306,
            database = "world",
            user = "monty",
            password = "pass"})
    
        if not ok then
            ngx.log(ngx.ERR, "failed to connect: ", err, ": ", errcode, " ", sqlstate)
            return ngx.exit(500)
        end
    
        res, err, errcode, sqlstate = db:query("select 1; select 2; select 3;")
        if not res then
            ngx.log(ngx.ERR, "bad result #1: ", err, ": ", errcode, ": ", sqlstate, ".")
            return ngx.exit(500)
        end
    
        ngx.say("result #1: ", cjson.encode(res))
    
        local i = 2
        while err == "again" do
            res, err, errcode, sqlstate = db:read_result()
            if not res then
                ngx.log(ngx.ERR, "bad result #", i, ": ", err, ": ", errcode, ": ", sqlstate, ".")
                return ngx.exit(500)
            end
    
            ngx.say("result #", i, ": ", cjson.encode(res))
            i = i + 1
        end
    
        local ok, err = db:set_keepalive(10000, 50)
        if not ok then
            ngx.log(ngx.ERR, "failed to set keepalive: ", err)
            ngx.exit(500)
        end

This code snippet will produce the following response body data:

    result #1: [{"1":"1"}]
    result #2: [{"2":"2"}]
    result #3: [{"3":"3"}]




=head1 Debugging

It is usually convenient to use the L<lua-cjson|http://www.kyne.com.au/~mark/software/lua-cjson.php> library to encode the return values of the MySQL query methods to JSON. For example,


        local cjson = require "cjson"
        ...
        local res, err, errcode, sqlstate = db:query("select * from cats")
        if res then
            print("res: ", cjson.encode(res))
        end




=head1 Automatic Error Logging

By default the underlying L<ngx_lua|https://github.com/openresty/lua-nginx-module> module
does error logging when socket errors happen. If you are already doing proper error
handling in your own Lua code, then you are recommended to disable this automatic error logging by turning off L<ngx_lua|https://github.com/openresty/lua-nginx-module>'s L<lua_socket_log_errors|https://github.com/openresty/lua-nginx-module#lua_socket_log_errors> directive, that is,


        lua_socket_log_errors off;




=head1 Limitations


=over


=item *

This library cannot be used in code contexts like init_by_luaI<, set_by_lua>, log_by_lua*, and
header_filter_by_lua* where the ngx_lua cosocket API is not available.

=item *

The C<resty.mysql> object instance cannot be stored in a Lua variable at the Lua module level,
because it will then be shared by all the concurrent requests handled by the same nginx
worker process (see
https://github.com/openresty/lua-nginx-module#data-sharing-within-an-nginx-worker ) and
result in bad race conditions when concurrent requests are trying to use the same C<resty.mysql> instance.
You should always initiate C<resty.mysql> objects in function local
variables or in the C<ngx.ctx> table. These places all have their own data copies for
each request.


=back




=head1 More Authentication Method Support

By default, Of all authentication method, only L<Old Password Authentication(mysql_old_password)|https://dev.mysql.com/doc/internals/en/old-password-authentication.html> and L<Secure Password Authentication(mysql_native_password)|https://dev.mysql.com/doc/internals/en/secure-password-authentication.html> are suppored. If the server requires L<sha256_password|https://dev.mysql.com/doc/internals/en/sha256.html> or cache_sha2_password, an error like C<auth plugin caching_sha2_password or sha256_password are not supported because resty.rsa is not installed> may be returned.

Need L<lua-resty-rsa|https://github.com/spacewander/lua-resty-rsa> when using the C<sha256_password> and C<cache_sha2_password>.




=head1 Installation

If you are using the ngx_openresty bundle (http://openresty.org ), then
you do not need to do anything because it already includes and enables
lua-resty-mysql by default. And you can just use it in your Lua code,
as in


        local mysql = require "resty.mysql"
        ...

If you are using your own nginx + ngx_lua build, then you need to configure
the lua_package_path directive to add the path of your lua-resty-mysql source
tree to ngx_lua's LUA_PATH search path, as in


        # nginx.conf
        http {
            lua_package_path "/path/to/lua-resty-mysql/lib/?.lua;;";
            ...
        }

Ensure that the system account running your Nginx ''worker'' proceses have
enough permission to read the C<.lua> file.
