This pool module is based on the pool code of mysql-simple-pool: https://github.com/Deathspike/mysql-simple-pool but uses Mariasql node module for better performance

Instantiating a connection pool

A connection pool has to be instantiated. You can provide maximumNumberOfConnections and options. Options are forwarded when a managed connection is established. And log field in options is the switch to let this module print the logs to stdout.

// Include the module.
var mypoolsql = require('my_pool_sql');

// Instantiate the pool. Use a maximum of 100 connections.
app.pool = new mypoolsql(100, {
	host: 'localhost',
	user: 'root',
	password: 'root',
	db: 'test',
	log: true
});

Performing queries

Queries are queued and executed on the first available connection.

pool.query('select * from posts where id = :id and name = :name', { id: 1337, name: 'Frylock' }, function(err, results) {
	console.log(results);
});

OR

pool.query('select * from posts', function(err, results) {
	console.log(results);
});

The results contains {query: result, rows: rows, info: info}, which rows is an array of row objects. You may refer to mariasql node module for detail information: https://github.com/mscdex/node-mariasql

Claiming a managed connection

A connection can be claimed, at which point is is no longer managed.

pool.claim(function(err, conn) {
	// I can do sequential queries here. This may be required when
	// you wish to do a transaction, since the queries have to be
	// sequential.
	conn.end();
});

End the connection to place it back into the connection pool.

Disposing the connection pool

A node application will not close with open connections.

pool.dispose();

Dispose ensures all pending queries finish, after which all connections are cleared.
