MySQL 8.x appears to be gaining some steam as the successor to MySQL 5.7. It changes the default auth mechanism to
caching_sha2_password
, whichmysql
doesn't currently support. See PR here: mysqljs/mysql#2233The
mysql2
driver does support this new MySQL 8.x auth mechanism. Fortunately,knex
supports bothmysql
andmysql2
out of the box! I've been driving it around locally and it appears to work well.
