Node-mysql-libmysqlclient 
Asynchronous MySQL binding for Node.js using libmysqlclient.
This module has been tested with Node.js versions 0.8.26, v0.10.25 and 0.11.10
Overview
These bindings provides all general connection/querying functions from the MySQL C API,
and partial support for prepared statements. Connect, query and fetchAll are asynchronous.
This module also includes support for asynchronous querySend from internals of libmysqlclient.
I started this project in 2010 when Node.js was growing. Ryan had plans to write this binding as part of GSoC.
It is now used by many projects and has more than 10 contributors,
who are listed in the AUTHORS file.
I also maintain the Node.js MySQL bindings benchmark which shows how mysql-libmysqlclient performs.
Node-mysql-libmysqlclient's source code is available in the Github repo and you can report issues at the project tracker.
Visit the module site for API docs and examples. You can also read some extra information in wiki.
