Missing documentation about '??' characters as placeholders for identifiers?

[tirengarfio]

Hi,

looks like using ?? is working as placeholders for identifiers as in mysql, but I'm missing some information on the documentation about that. Or is it just something new that I just found out or something inherited from "mysql" package?

Hi, @tirengarfio 🙋🏻‍♂️

From MySQL2 documentation:

MySQL2 is mostly API compatible with Node MySQL. You should check their API documentation to see all available API options.

Also:

MySQL2 is mostly API compatible with mysqljs and supports majority of features. MySQL2 also offers these additional features:

• Faster / Better Performance
• Prepared Statements
• MySQL Binary Log Protocol
• MySQL Server
• Extended support for Encoding and Collation
• Promise Wrapper
• Compression
• SSL and Authentication Switch
• Custom Streams
• Pooling
