Quickstart: Use Node.js to connect and query data in Azure Database for MySQL

Caution

This article references CentOS, a Linux distribution that is End Of Life (EOL) status. Please consider your use and planning accordingly. For more information, see the CentOS End Of Life guidance.

APPLIES TO: Azure Database for MySQL - Single Server

Important

Azure Database for MySQL single server is on the retirement path. We strongly recommend that you upgrade to Azure Database for MySQL flexible server. For more information about migrating to Azure Database for MySQL flexible server, see What's happening to Azure Database for MySQL Single Server?

In this quickstart, you connect to an Azure Database for MySQL by using Node.js. You then use SQL statements to query, insert, update, and delete data in the database from Mac, Linux, and Windows platforms.

This article assumes that you're familiar with developing using Node.js, but you're new to working with Azure Database for MySQL.

Prerequisites

Important

Ensure the IP address you're connecting from has been added the server's firewall rules using the Azure portal or Azure CLI

Install Node.js and the MySQL connector

Depending on your platform, follow the instructions in the appropriate section to install Node.js. Use npm to install the mysql2 package and its dependencies into your project folder.

  1. Visit the Node.js downloads page, and then select your desired Windows installer option.

  2. Make a local project folder such as nodejsmysql.

  3. Open the command prompt, and then change directory into the project folder, such as cd c:\nodejsmysql\

  4. Run the NPM tool to install the mysql2 library into the project folder.

    cd c:\nodejsmysql\
    "C:\Program Files\nodejs\npm" install mysql2
    "C:\Program Files\nodejs\npm" list
    
  5. Verify the installation by checking the npm list output text. The version number may vary as new patches are released.

Get connection information

Get the connection information needed to connect to the Azure Database for MySQL. You need the fully qualified server name and login credentials.

  1. Log in to the Azure portal.
  2. From the left-hand menu in Azure portal, select All resources, and then search for the server you have created (such as mydemoserver).
  3. Select the server name.
  4. From the server's Overview panel, make a note of the Server name and Server admin login name. If you forget your password, you can also reset the password from this panel.

Running the code samples

  1. Paste the JavaScript code into new text files, and then save it into a project folder with file extension .js (such as C:\nodejsmysql\createtable.js or /home/username/nodejsmysql/createtable.js).

  2. Replace host, user, password and database config options in the code with the values that you specified when you created the server and database.

  3. Obtain SSL certificate: Download the certificate needed to communicate over SSL with your Azure Database for MySQL server from https://dl.cacerts.digicert.com/DigiCertGlobalRootCA.crt.pem and save the certificate file to your local drive.

    For Microsoft Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge: After the download has completed, rename the certificate to DigiCertGlobalRootCA.crt.pem.

    See the following links for certificates for servers in sovereign clouds: Azure Government, Microsoft Azure operated by 21Vianet, and Azure Germany.

  4. In the ssl config option, replace the ca-cert filename with the path to this local file.

  5. Open the command prompt or bash shell, and then change directory into your project folder cd nodejsmysql.

  6. To run the application, enter the node command followed by the file name, such as node createtable.js.

  7. On Windows, if the node application isn't in your environment variable path, you may need to use the full path to launch the node application, such as "C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exe" createtable.js

Connect, create table, and insert data

Use the following code to connect and load the data by using CREATE TABLE and INSERT INTO SQL statements.

The mysql.createConnection() method is used to interface with the MySQL server. The connect() function is used to establish the connection to the server. The query() function is used to execute the SQL query against MySQL database.

const mysql = require('mysql2');
const fs = require('fs');

var config =
{
    host: 'mydemoserver.mysql.database.azure.com',
    user: 'myadmin@mydemoserver',
    password: 'your_password',
    database: 'quickstartdb',
    port: 3306,
    ssl: {ca: fs.readFileSync("your_path_to_ca_cert_file_DigiCertGlobalRootCA.crt.pem")}
};

const conn = new mysql.createConnection(config);

conn.connect(
    function (err) {
    if (err) {
        console.log("!!! Cannot connect !!! Error:");
        throw err;
    }
    else
    {
       console.log("Connection established.");
           queryDatabase();
    }
});

function queryDatabase(){
    conn.query('DROP TABLE IF EXISTS inventory;', function (err, results, fields) {
        if (err) throw err;
        console.log('Dropped inventory table if existed.');
    })
        conn.query('CREATE TABLE inventory (id serial PRIMARY KEY, name VARCHAR(50), quantity INTEGER);',
            function (err, results, fields) {
                if (err) throw err;
        console.log('Created inventory table.');
    })
    conn.query('INSERT INTO inventory (name, quantity) VALUES (?, ?);', ['banana', 150],
            function (err, results, fields) {
                if (err) throw err;
        else console.log('Inserted ' + results.affectedRows + ' row(s).');
        })
    conn.query('INSERT INTO inventory (name, quantity) VALUES (?, ?);', ['orange', 154],
            function (err, results, fields) {
                if (err) throw err;
        console.log('Inserted ' + results.affectedRows + ' row(s).');
        })
    conn.query('INSERT INTO inventory (name, quantity) VALUES (?, ?);', ['apple', 100],
    function (err, results, fields) {
                if (err) throw err;
        console.log('Inserted ' + results.affectedRows + ' row(s).');
        })
    conn.end(function (err) {
    if (err) throw err;
    else  console.log('Done.')
    });
};

Read data

Use the following code to connect and read the data by using a SELECT SQL statement.

The mysql.createConnection() method is used to interface with the MySQL server. The connect() method is used to establish the connection to the server. The query() method is used to execute the SQL query against MySQL database. The results array is used to hold the results of the query.

const mysql = require('mysql2');
const fs = require('fs');

var config =
{
    host: 'mydemoserver.mysql.database.azure.com',
    user: 'myadmin@mydemoserver',
    password: 'your_password',
    database: 'quickstartdb',
    port: 3306,
    ssl: {ca: fs.readFileSync("your_path_to_ca_cert_file_DigiCertGlobalRootCA.crt.pem")}
};

const conn = new mysql.createConnection(config);

conn.connect(
    function (err) {
        if (err) {
            console.log("!!! Cannot connect !!! Error:");
            throw err;
        }
        else {
            console.log("Connection established.");
            readData();
        }
    });

function readData(){
    conn.query('SELECT * FROM inventory',
        function (err, results, fields) {
            if (err) throw err;
            else console.log('Selected ' + results.length + ' row(s).');
            for (i = 0; i < results.length; i++) {
                console.log('Row: ' + JSON.stringify(results[i]));
            }
            console.log('Done.');
        })
    conn.end(
        function (err) {
            if (err) throw err;
            else  console.log('Closing connection.')
    });
};

Update data

Use the following code to connect and update data by using an UPDATE SQL statement.

The mysql.createConnection() method is used to interface with the MySQL server. The connect() method is used to establish the connection to the server. The query() method is used to execute the SQL query against MySQL database.

            updateData();
        }
    });

function updateData(){
       conn.query('UPDATE inventory SET quantity = ? WHERE name = ?', [200, 'banana'],
            function (err, results, fields) {
                if (err) throw err;
                else console.log('Updated ' + results.affectedRows + ' row(s).');
           })
       conn.end(
           function (err) {
                if (err) throw err;
                else  console.log('Done.')
        });
};
