Fixes #9310 — the one from #9311 that had not landed. Cherry-picked cleanly onto current main (which now carries #9314).

The bug

pool.execute(sql, params) sent NULL for every parameter. Not mis-ordered, not truncated — all of them, at every count.

params node 26.8.1 perry (before)
3 ["v0",null,"v2"] round-trips [null,null,null]
8 round-trips exactly all null
12 round-trips exactly all null
17 round-trips exactly all null

Same file, same database, same settings; only the runtime differs.

This is adjacent to #8745 (closed) but not the same: that was params matched against the wrong statement, this is every value arriving as NULL regardless of count or order.

Why it is severe

It is silent at the driver level, so it surfaces as a database error far from the cause. A real registration on our API produced:

insert into `organizations` (…) values (default, ?, ?, ?, …)
params: [ 'cVJmsy9ta3Tq', false, 'Probe GmbH', null, 'DE', 'Str. 1', null, '20095', 'Hamburg', … ]
cause: Column 'zip' cannot be null

The parameters are correct and correctly ordered — all 17 placeholders line up against all 17 params. MySQL still received NULL and reported the first NOT NULL column it hit, which sends anyone debugging it straight to the application's data.

Where a NOT NULL constraint does not catch it, this writes NULLs into the database instead of the values. An insert of mostly-nullable columns "succeeds" with the data silently lost.

It also means every parameterised SELECT matches nothing: WHERE email = ? becomes WHERE email = NULL. Parameterless statements work, which is why a healthcheck passes while nothing else does — our API reported {"ok":true,"db":true} and could not authenticate a single user.

The fix

8 files, +503/−68, across the FFI value boundary (perry-ffi), the extension (perry-ext-mysql2) and the stdlib surface (mysql2/{pool,connection,result}.rs) — the values were being lost in marshalling, not in the protocol layer.

It also fixes mysql.createConnection, which previously failed outright with Error: Invalid connection handle, leaving createPool as the only usable path. Both work now.

Unsupported and undefined parameters reject loudly rather than silently becoming NULL — which is the property that matters here: a parameter must never quietly turn into a null.

Verification

Full type round-trip, asserting actual values rather than "not null" (a test that only checks non-null would pass on an implementation returning a constant):

{ "shortString": "five!", "intValue": 9310, "floatValue": 3.25,
  "boolValue": 1, "nullValue": null,
  "dateValue": "2024-02-03T04:05:06.789000", "bufferHex": "00017F80FF" }

End to end against a real service, which is what makes this credible:

  • the drizzle migrator compiled and applied 47 tables to a scratch MySQL 8 database
  • bootstrap-admin compiled and printed created probe9310@skelpo.com in the platform organization with the admin role — it previously failed with a blank platform organisation id, which was this bug
  • the row landed with real values: probe9310@skelpo.com scrypt$13107 Probe active, zero unexpected NULLs, one membership, one role
  • probe rows and scratch schema cleaned up afterwards

Tests: perry-ffi 30 · perry-ext-mysql2 14 · perry-stdlib 126 · perry --bin perry 1,052 · cargo fmt --check · git diff --check — all pass.

Inherited regressions re-checked, all still correct: the hono construction case, the custom-404 case, the c.text/json/html content-type matrix against node, and the scrypt sweep across all eight rows.

One observation, not fixed here

Compiled MySQL programs sometimes stay alive after successful output and pool.end() / connection.end() — a lingering handle keeps the process from exiting, so the verification wrappers needed timeouts after assertions completed. It did not affect correctness of any result above. Worth its own issue if it is not already known; I did not want to bundle a lifecycle change into a data-correctness fix.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Fixed MySQL prepared statements so strings, numbers, booleans, nulls, dates, and buffers retain their original values.
    • Preserved signed and unsigned MySQL integer widths when reading query results.
    • Improved handling of short strings and connection results.
    • Invalid or unsupported parameters, including undefined and invalid dates, now fail clearly instead of being silently misinterpreted.
  • Tests

    • Added regression coverage across parameter counts, connection types, supported values, and validation failures.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The mysql2 bridge now preserves supported prepared-statement parameters, including short strings, buffers, dates, and integers. It rejects undefined and unsupported values. FFI parameter transport uses f64 bit preservation, and MySQL integer decoding respects width and signedness.

Changes

mysql2 parameter binding

Layer / File(s) Summary
JavaScript value representation
crates/perry-ffi/src/jsvalue.rs, crates/perry-ffi/src/lib.rs, crates/perry-ext-mysql2/src/lib.rs
Short strings can be decoded without heap materialization. mysql2 can detect arrays, buffers, and dates.
FFI value and handle transport
crates/perry-stdlib/src/mysql2/connection.rs, crates/perry-stdlib/src/mysql2/pool.rs, crates/perry-ext-mysql2/src/lib.rs
Query and execute functions transport parameter bits as f64. Connection and pool handles use pointer-tagged JavaScript values.
Parameter extraction and SQL binding
crates/perry-stdlib/src/mysql2/*, crates/perry-ext-mysql2/src/lib.rs
Extraction validates arrays and values, copies buffers, converts valid dates, and returns errors for invalid inputs. Query and execute paths bind byte and datetime values.
Result decoding and regression validation
crates/perry-stdlib/src/mysql2/result.rs, crates/perry-stdlib/src/mysql2/pool.rs, crates/perry-ext-mysql2/src/lib.rs, test-files/test_issue_9310_mysql2_param_values.ts, changelog.d/9310-mysql2-param-binding.md
Integer decoding preserves MySQL width and signedness. Unit and live-MySQL tests cover parameter counts, supported types, direct connections, and rejected undefined values.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to f3dea

The change does not currently appear ready to merge: one parameter-decoding path prevents compilation, another can panic on malformed short-string values, and BIGINT results may be silently rounded. These issues can block deployment or corrupt returned database values until fixed.

Preserve BIGINT precision in both MySQL result decoders.

Both BIGINT branches cast 64-bit values to f64, and both later create JavaScript numbers. Values outside the JavaScript safe-integer range can lose precision. Return an exact decimal string or runtime BigInt, and add signed and unsigned regression tests.

Handle the Option<usize> result before slicing.

short_string_to_buf returns Option<usize>, but extract_params_from_jsvalue passes it directly to &bytes[..len]. Rust rejects Option<usize> as a slice index, so the mysql2 bridge does not compile. Convert None into the existing parameter-extraction error before indexing.

Reject SSO values with encoded lengths above SHORT_STRING_MAX_LEN.

JsValue::is_short_string() checks only SHORT_STRING_TAG. A raw value with length 6 reaches short_string_to_buf, and buffer[..len] can panic because the buffer has five bytes. Return None before slicing and add a regression test.
