## Initialization
### `mysql.config(['mysql'|'mariadb'|libname|clib]) -> mysql`
Load the mysql client library to use (default is 'mysql').
This function is called on every module-level function.
Calling this function again is a no-op.
## Connections
### `mysql.connect(host, [user], [pass], [db], [charset], [port]) -> conn`
### `mysql.connect(options_t) -> conn`
Connect to a mysql server, optionally selecting a working database and charset.
In the second form, `options_t` is a table that besides `host`, `user`, `pass`, `db`, `charset`, `port`
can have the following fields:
* `unix_socket`: specify a unix socket filename to connect to
* `flags`: bit field corresponding to mysql [client_flag](http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/mysql-real-connect.html) parameter
* can be a table of form `{CLIENT_... = true | false, ...}`, or
* a number of form `bit.bor(mysql.C.CLIENT_..., ...)`
* `options`: a table of form `{MYSQL_OPT_... = value, ...}`, containing options per [mysql_options()](http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/mysql-options.html) (values are properly converted from Lua types)
* `attrs`: a table of form `{attr = value, ...}` containing attributes to be passed to the server per [mysql_options4()](http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/mysql-options4.html)
* `key`, `cert`, `ca`, `cpath`, `cipher`: parameters used to establish a [SSL connection](http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/mysql-ssl-set.html)
### `conn:close()`
Close a mysql connection freeing all associated resources (otherwise called when `conn` is garbage collected).
## Queries
### `conn:query(s)`
Execute a query. If the query string contains multiple statements, only the first statement is executed
(see the section on multiple statements).
### `conn:escape(s) -> s`
Escape a value to be safely embedded in SQL queries. Assumes the current charset.
## Fetching results
### `conn:store_result() -> result`
Fetch all the rows in the current result set from the server and return a result object to read them one by one.
### `conn:use_result() -> result`
Return a result object that will fetch the rows in the current result set from the server on demand.
### `result:fetch([mode[, row_t]]) -> true, v1, v2, ... | row_t | nil`
Fetch and return the next row of values from the current result set. Returns nil if there are no more rows to fetch.
* the `mode` arg can contain any combination of the following letters:
* `"n"` - return values in a table with numeric indices as keys.
* `"a"` - return values in a table with field names as keys.
* `"s"` - do not convert numeric and time values to Lua types.
* the `row_t` arg is an optional table to store the row values in, instead of creating a new one on each fetch.
* options "a" and "n" can be combined to get a table with both numeric and field name indices.
* if `mode` is missing or if neither "a" nor "n" is specified, the values
are returned to the caller unpacked, after a first value that is always
true, to make it easy to distinguish between a valid `NULL` value in the
first column and eof.
* in "n" mode, the result table may contain `nil` values so `#row_t` and `ipairs(row_t)` are out; instead iterate from 1 to `result:field_count()`.
* in "a" mode, for fields with duplicate names only the last field will be present.
* if `mode` does not specify `"s"`, the following conversions are applied on the returned values:
* integer types are returned as Lua numbers, except bigint which is returned as an `int64_t` cdata (or `uint64` if unsigned).
* date/time types are returned as tables in the usual `os.date"*t"` format (date fields are missing for time-only types and viceversa).
* decimal/numeric types are returned as Lua strings.
* bit types are returned as Lua numbers, and as `uint64_t` for bit types larger than 48 bits.
* enum and set types are always returned as strings.
### `result:rows([mode[, row_t]]) -> iterator() -> row_num, val1, val2, ...`
### `result:rows([mode[, row_t]]) -> iterator() -> row_num, row_t`
Convenience iterator for fetching (or refetching) all the rows from the current result set. The `mode` arg
is the same as for `result:fetch()`, with the exception that in unpacked mode, the first `true` value is not present.
### `result:free()`
Free the result buffer (otherwise called when `result` is garbage collected).
### `result:row_count() -> n`
Return the number of rows in the current result set . This value is only correct if `result:store_result()` was
previously called or if all the rows were fetched, in other words if `result:eof()` is true.
### `result:eof() -> true | false`
Check if there are no more rows to fetch. If `result:store_result()` was previously called, then all rows were
already fetched, so `result:eof()` always returns `true` in this case.
### `result:seek(row_number)`
Seek back to a particular row number to refetch the rows from there.
## Query info
### `conn:field_count() -> n`
### `conn:affected_rows() -> n`
### `conn:insert_id() -> n`
### `conn:errno() -> n`
### `conn:sqlstate() -> s`
### `conn:warning_count() -> n`
### `conn:info() -> s`
Return various pieces of information about the previously executed query.
## Field info
### `result:field_count() -> n`
### `result:field_name(field_number) -> s`
### `result:field_type(field_number) -> type, length, decimals, unsigned`
### `result:field_info(field_number) -> info_t`
### `result:fields() -> iterator() -> i, info_t`
Return information about the fields (columns) in the current result set.
## Result bookmarks
### `result:tell() -> bookmark`
Get a bookmark to the current row to be later seeked into with `seek()`.
### `result:seek(bookmark)`
Seek to a previous saved row bookmark, or to a specific row number, fetching more rows as needed.
## Multiple statement queries
### `conn:next_result() -> true | false`
Skip over to the next result set in a multiple statement query, and make that the current result set.
Return true if there more result sets after this one.
### `conn:more_results() -> true | false`
Check if there are more result sets after this one.
## Prepared statements
Prepared statements are a way to run queries and retrieve results more efficiently from the database, in particular:
* parametrized queries allow sending query parameters in their native format, avoiding having to convert values into strings and escaping those strings.
* running the same query multiple times with different parameters each time allows the server to reuse the parsed query and possibly the query plan between runs.
* fetching the result rows in preallocated buffers avoids dynamic allocation on each row fetch.
The flow for prepared statements is like this:
* call `conn:prepare()` to prepare a query and get a statement object.
* call `stmt:bind_params()` and `stmt:bind_result()` to get the buffer objects for setting params and getting row values.
* run the query multiple times; each time:
* call `params:set()` for each param to set param values.
* call `stmt:exec()` to run the query.
* fetch the resulting rows one by one; for each row:
* call `stmt:fetch()` to get the next row (it returns false if it was the last row).
* call `fields:get()` to read the values of the fetched row.
* call `stmt:close()` to free the statement object and all the associated resources from the server and client.
### `conn:prepare(query) -> stmt, params`
Prepare a query for multiple execution and return a statement object.
### `stmt:param_count() -> n`
Number of parameters.
### `stmt:exec()`
Execute a prepared statement.
### `stmt:store_result()`
Fetch all the rows in the current result set from the server, otherwise the rows are fetched on demand.
### `stmt:fetch() -> true | false | true, 'truncated'`
Fetch the next row from the current result set. Use a binding buffer (see prepared statements I/O section)
to get the row values. If present, second value indicates that at least one of the rows were truncated because
the receiving buffer was too small for it.
### `stmt:free_result()`
Free the current result and all associated resources (otherwise the result is closed when the statement is closed).
### `stmt:close()`
Close a prepared statement and free all associated resources (otherwise the statement is closed when garbage collected).
### `stmt:next_result()`
Skip over to the next result set in a multiple statement query.
### `stmt:row_count() -> n`
### `stmt:affected_rows() -> n`
### `stmt:insert_id() -> n`
### `stmt:field_count() -> n`
### `stmt:errno() -> n`
### `stmt:sqlstate() -> s`
### `stmt:result_metadata() -> result`
### `stmt:fields() -> iterator() -> i, info_t`
Return various pieces of information on the executed statement.
### `stmt:reset()`
See [manual](http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/mysql-stmt-reset.html).

### `stmt:tell() -> bookmark`
### `stmt:seek(bookmark)`
Seek into the current result set.
## Prepared statements I/O
### `stmt:bind_params(type1, ... | types_t) -> params`
Bind query parameters according to a list of type definitions (which can be given either packed or unpacked).
Return a binding buffer object to be used for setting parameters.
The types must be valid, fully specified SQL types, eg.
* `smallint unsigned` specifies a 16bit unsigned integer
* `bit(32)` specifies a 32bit bit field
* `varchar(200)` specifies a 200 byte varchar.
### `params:set(i, number | int64_t | uint64_t | true | false)`
### `params:set(i, s[, size])`
### `params:set(i, cdata, size)`
### `params:set(i, {year=, month=, ...})`
### `params:set_date(i, [year], [month], [day], [hour], [min], [sec], [frac])`
Set a parameter value.
* the first form is for setting integers and bit fields.
* the second and third forms are for setting variable-sized fields and decimal/numeric fields.
* the last forms are for setting date/time/datetime/timestamp fields.
* the null type cannot be set (raises an error if attempted).
### `stmt:write(param_number, data[, size])`
Send a parameter value in chunks (for long, var-sized values).
### `stmt:bind_result([type1, ... | types_t | maxsize]) -> fields`
Bind result fields according to a list of type definitions (same as for params).
Return a binding buffer object to be used for getting row values.
If no types are specified, appropriate type definitions will be created automatically as to minimize type conversions.
Variable-sized fields will get a buffer sized according to data type's maximum allowed size
and `maxsize` (which defaults to 64k).
### `fields:get(i) -> value`
### `fields:get_datetime(i) -> year, month, day, hour, min, sec, frac`
Get a row value from the last fetched row. The same type conversions as for `result:fetch()` apply.
### `fields:is_null(i) -> true | false`
Check if a value is null without having to get it if it's not.
### `fields:is_truncated(i) -> true | false`
Check if a value was truncated due to insufficient buffer space.
### `stmt:bind_result_types([maxsize]) -> types_t`
Return the list of type definitions that describe the result of a prepared statement.
