errno: 1203, code: 'ER_TOO_MANY_USER_CONNECTIONS' in nodejs mysql code? - mysql

Question

Hello Everyone,
I'm a beginner in Node.js Mysql. I have connected to Node.js with mysql. While starting the Node.js server, I got the error like " code: 'ER_TOO_MANY_USER_CONNECTIONS', " further I will attach the mysql db connection code below. Any type of help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance...
var db = mysql.createPool({
host: 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
port: 'xxx',
user: 'xxxx',
password: 'xxx',
database: 'xxx'
});
db.getConnection((err, tempConn) => {
if (err) {
console.log(err);
}
else {
tempConn.release();
console.log('Mysql Connected');
}
});
module.exports={db};

If you're creating a pool you don't need to use getConnection. There is a shortcut that allows you to use it directly. If you do use getConnection you must follow it with a query, then you may release the connection. Your example is missing a query.
Here is a helpful template for using a pool config:
// in your application initialization file such as app.js
//
// other require items here as well like express maybe?
//
const mysql = require('mysql');
const connection = mysql.createPool({
connectionLimit: 10,
host: process.env.DB_HOST || '127.0.0.1',
user: process.env.DB_USER || 'local_user',
password: process.env.DB_PASSWORD || 'local_password',
database: process.env.DB_NAME || 'local_database',
multipleStatements: true,
charset: 'utf8mb4' // necessary if you might need support for emoji characters
});
connection.on('connection', function (connection) {
// handy for testing
console.log('Pool id %d connected', connection.threadId);
});
connection.on('enqueue', function () {
// handy for testing
console.log('Waiting for available connection slot');
});
global.db = connection;
//
// other app setup stuff here like app.set, app.engine, app.use, module.exports = app and all that good stuff
//
// later…
// everywhere else in your app, use the global db variable when running queries
// ../new_users.js or similar maybe?
const _create_user = (user_payload) => {
db.query(
'INSERT INTO users SET ?', user_payload, function(error, results, fields) {
if (error) throw error;
console.log(results);
});
}
// maybe we are in a module that has access to
// the request object so we can use something
// that has come via POST
//
// here is a manual object as a placeholder…
let new_user = {
first_name: 'John',
last_name: 'Smith',
email: 'j.smith#example.com',
password: 'keyboard_cat'
}
_create_user(new_user);
