NAME

DBD::mysql - MySQL X Protocol driver for the Perl5 Database Interface (DBI)

COPYRIGHT

SYNOPSIS

use DBI;
my $dsn = "DBI:mysqlx:localhost/test"
my $dbh = DBI->connect($dsn, "msandbox", "msandbox");

$dbh->do("DO 1");
$dbh->disconnect();

The part of the DSN after DBI:mysqlx: is identical to what you would use in a X Protocol URI after the @. The DSN above would translate to mysqlx://msandbox:msandbox@localhost/test

DESCRIPTION

This driver allows you to connect to a MySQL 5.7.12 or newer database over the MySQL X Protocol. On 5.7 you need to configure it to load the mysqlx plugin. See https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/document-store-setting-up.html for details.

Differences with DBD::mysql

DBD::mysql uses libmysqlclient, supports a wide range of MySQL and MariaDB versions and is stable. It uses the Classic MySQL Protocol.

DBD::mysqlx uses libmysqlcppconn8, only supports MySQL 5.7 and 8.0 and is experimental. It uses the new MySQL X Protocol, which is protobuf based.

The DSN format is different.

Attributes on the dbh and sth are different, except for DBI standard attributes.

DBD::mysqlx only supports last_insert_id() on the $sth, not on the $dbh.
