Question on MySQL 8.x

[dublx]

Hi,

At the start of the README it's stated:

Disclaimer: MySQL 8.x databases are not compatible ! This plugin is compatible with MySQL 5.5.x, MySQL 5.7.x and MariaDB databases.

I have been using it to connect to a MySQL 8.x installation without any issues.
So what is the reason for the disclaimer?
ps: im using "fastify-mysql": "^0.2.0"

Thanks!

I can't find right now the correct issue I looked at, but the cause of the disclaimer is that this lib:
https://github.com/sidorares/node-mysql2

doesn't support totally that version of MySQL (maybe not some feature):
https://github.com/sidorares/node-mysql2/blob/master/.travis.yml

I can find the right issue but feel free to give it a check

[dublx]

Thanks!

I’d be happy to support all versions of mysql and mariadb if we can use another client.

Mysql8 default auth is supported in [email protected], I'm planning to publish alpha1 as a release today

[email protected] is out
