MySQL2 is a fast, MySQL-compatible database driver for Node.js, largely API-compatible with mysqljs/mysql. It supports prepared statements, connection pooling, streaming, and a promise-based API.

Use cases

  • connect to a MySQL database from Node.js
  • run parameterized queries with prepared statements
  • manage a pool of MySQL connections for a web app
  • drop-in replacement for mysqljs/mysql with better performance
  • stream large MySQL query results
  • use MySQL with async/await via promise wrapper

When to choose

  • you need a MySQL or MariaDB driver in Node.js
  • you want mysqljs/mysql compatibility with prepared statements and promises
  • performance-sensitive database access is required

When to avoid

  • you use PostgreSQL or another non-MySQL database
  • you need an ORM rather than a raw driver
  • you are not on Node.js
