mysql-promisify

A promisified wrapper around the popular mysql npm package, providing an async/await interface for MySQL queries, transactions, and connection pooling. Current stable version is 1.0.2, released in late 2020 with low maintenance cadence. Key differentiators: uses custom escape format with ':word' for values and '|word' for identifiers, stateless MySQL class with both pool and connection approaches, built-in transaction support via getTransactionDb(). Lightweight alternative to more heavyweight ORMs like Sequelize.
