I want to release connections given by a MySQL pool. In a "for" loop, the connections are correctly released, but if I use a Promise.All to do it asynchronized, I have some connections that are not closed. The problem is that, after a moment, I get the error "Too many connections", and I don't want to increase the max_connection number.
Do you know if, for any reason, MySQL connections can't be released in an asynchronous function ?
Here is how I create my pool :
dbPool = mysql2.createPool(Object.assign({}, defaultDBConfig, {
database: 'my_db,
waitForConnections: true,
connectionLimit: 10,
queueLimit: 0,
multipleStatements: true,
dateStrings: true
}));
Here is the functions that I use :
/**
* @description Allow to do a generic async forEach loop
* @param {*} array
* @param {*} callback
*/
async function asyncForEachPromised(array, callback) {
await Promise.all(array.map(async (items) => {
await callback(items);
}));
/**
* @description ExecuteQuery a query and return an object which contain the result or an error
* @param {*} dbPool Connection pool
* @param {*} query Query to executeQuery
* @param {*} errorMessage Error message to send to the front-end
* @param {*} elements Array of parameter to send in the query
*/
async function executeQuery(dbPool, query, errorMessage, elements) {
const status = {
error: null,
result: null
};
const { error, connection } = await dbPool.getConnection();
if (error) {
console.log(error);
status.error = 'Error when trying to connect to the database.';
} else {
try {
const [rows] = await connection.promise().execute(query, elements);
connection.release();
status.result = rows;
} catch (err) {
console.log(err);
status.error = errorMessage;
}
}
return status;
}
Finally, there is a example of code that I use, on this case connections are not released :
const elements = [{prop1: 'a'},{prop1: 'b'}];
await asyncForEachPromised(elements, async (element) => {
await executeQuery(dbPool, 'my query', 'my error message', [element.prop1]);
});
But on this case, they are correctly released :
const elements = [{prop1: 'a'},{prop1: 'b'}];
for (const [,element] of elements.entries()) {
await executeQuery(dbPool, 'my query', 'my error message', [element.prop1]);
}
