MySQL driver

The database connection is necessary for today's enterprise development. WasmEdge provides a MySQL driver for Rust developers, enabling developers to build database applications in Rust and then running in WasmEdge.

note

Before we start, you need to have Rust and WasmEdge installed. Make sure that you read the special notes on networking apps especially if you are compiling Rust programs on a Mac.

Run the example

The wasmedge-db-example/mysql_async is a MySQL connector example written in Rust.

git clone https://github.com/WasmEdge/wasmedge-db-examples
cd wasmedge-db-examples/mysql_async

# Compile the rust code into WASM
RUSTFLAGS="--cfg wasmedge --cfg tokio_unstable" cargo build --target wasm32-wasi --release

# Execute MySQL statements against a MySQL database at mysql://user:passwd@127.0.0.1:3306
wasmedge --env "DATABASE_URL=mysql://user:passwd@127.0.0.1:3306/mysql" target/wasm32-wasi/release/crud.wasm
note

Since we have TLS enabled by default in this example, you will need the wasi-sdk version of clang for compiling it on MacOS.

To use TLS, you will need to turn on the default-rustls feature on the mysql_async crate in Cargo.toml. Then, run the application as follows.

# Execute MySQL statements against an AWS RDS database that requires TLS
wasmedge --env "DATABASE_SSL=1" --env "DATABASE_URL=mysql://user:passwd@mydb.123456789012.us-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com:3306/mysql" crud.wasm

Configuration

In order to compile the mysql_async and tokio crates, we will need to apply two patches to add WasmEdge-specific socket APIs to those crates. The following example shows that the TLS connection is enabled.

[patch.crates-io]
tokio = { git = "https://github.com/second-state/wasi_tokio.git", branch = "v1.36.x" }
socket2 = { git = "https://github.com/second-state/socket2.git", branch = "v0.5.x" }

[dependencies]
mysql_async = { version = "0.34", default-features=false, features = [ "default-rustls" ], git="https://github.com/blackbeam/mysql_async.git" }
zstd-sys = "=2.0.9"
tokio = { version = "1", features = [ "io-util", "fs", "net", "time", "rt", "macros"] }

Code example

The following code shows how to connect to a MySQL database server, and then insert, update, and delete records using SQL statements.

Connect to a MySQL database.

    // Below we create a customized connection pool
let opts = Opts::from_url(&*get_url()).unwrap();
let mut builder = OptsBuilder::from_opts(opts);
if std::env::var("DATABASE_SSL").is_ok() {
builder = builder.ssl_opts(SslOpts::default());
}
// The connection pool will have a min of 5 and max of 10 connections.
let constraints = PoolConstraints::new(5, 10).unwrap();
let pool_opts = PoolOpts::default().with_constraints(constraints);

let pool = Pool::new(builder.pool_opts(pool_opts));
let mut conn = pool.get_conn().await.unwrap();

Create a table on the connected database.

    // create table if no tables exist
let result = r"SHOW TABLES LIKE 'orders';"
.with(())
.map(&mut conn, |s: String| String::from(s))
.await?;

if result.len() == 0 {
// table doesn't exist, create a new one
r"CREATE TABLE orders (order_id INT, production_id INT, quantity INT, amount FLOAT, shipping FLOAT, tax FLOAT, shipping_address VARCHAR(20));".ignore(&mut conn).await?;
println!("create new table");
} else {
// delete all data from the table.
println!("delete all from orders");
r"DELETE FROM orders;".ignore(&mut conn).await?;
}

Insert some records into the MySQL database using SQL.

    let orders = vec![
Order::new(1, 12, 2, 56.0, 15.0, 2.0, String::from("Mataderos 2312")),
Order::new(2, 15, 3, 256.0, 30.0, 16.0, String::from("1234 NW Bobcat")),
Order::new(3, 11, 5, 536.0, 50.0, 24.0, String::from("20 Havelock")),
Order::new(4, 8, 8, 126.0, 20.0, 12.0, String::from("224 Pandan Loop")),
Order::new(5, 24, 1, 46.0, 10.0, 2.0, String::from("No.10 Jalan Besar")),
];

r"INSERT INTO orders (order_id, production_id, quantity, amount, shipping, tax, shipping_address)
VALUES (:order_id, :production_id, :quantity, :amount, :shipping, :tax, :shipping_address)"
.with(orders.iter().map(|order| {
params! {
"order_id" => order.order_id,
"production_id" => order.production_id,
"quantity" => order.quantity,
"amount" => order.amount,
"shipping" => order.shipping,
"tax" => order.tax,
"shipping_address" => &order.shipping_address,
}
}))
.batch(&mut conn)
.await?;

Query the database.

    // query data
let loaded_orders = "SELECT * FROM orders"
.with(())
.map(
&mut conn,
|(order_id, production_id, quantity, amount, shipping, tax, shipping_address)| {
Order::new(
order_id,
production_id,
quantity,
amount,
shipping,
tax,
shipping_address,
)
},
)
.await?;
dbg!(loaded_orders.len());
dbg!(loaded_orders);

Delete some records from the database.

    // delete some data
r"DELETE FROM orders WHERE order_id=4;"
.ignore(&mut conn)
.await?;

// query data
let loaded_orders = "SELECT * FROM orders"
.with(())
.map(
&mut conn,
|(order_id, production_id, quantity, amount, shipping, tax, shipping_address)| {
Order::new(
order_id,
production_id,
quantity,
amount,
shipping,
tax,
shipping_address,
)
},
)
.await?;
dbg!(loaded_orders.len());
dbg!(loaded_orders);

Update records in the MySQL database.

    // update some data
r"UPDATE orders
SET shipping_address = '8366 Elizabeth St.'
WHERE order_id = 2;"
.ignore(&mut conn)
.await?;
// query data
let loaded_orders = "SELECT * FROM orders"
.with(())
.map(
&mut conn,
|(order_id, production_id, quantity, amount, shipping, tax, shipping_address)| {
Order::new(
order_id,
production_id,
quantity,
amount,
shipping,
tax,
shipping_address,
)
},
)
.await?;
dbg!(loaded_orders.len());
dbg!(loaded_orders);

Close the database connection.

    drop(conn);
pool.disconnect().await.unwrap();
