Dear MySQL users,

MySQL Connector/C++ 8.0.11 is the first GA release version of the
MySQL Connector/C++ 8.0 series.

Connector/C++ 8.0 can be used to access MySQL implementing Document
Store or in a traditional way, using SQL queries. It allows writing
both C++ applications using X DevAPI or plain C applications using
XAPI.

To learn more about how to write applications using X DevAPI, see
“X DevAPI User Guide”

Dear MySQL users,

MySQL Connector/Net 8.0.10 is the first release candidate of MySQL
Connector/Net to add support for the new X DevAPI. The X DevAPI enables
application developers to write code that combines the strengths of the
relational and document models using a modern, NoSQL-like syntax that
does not assume previous experience writing traditional SQL.

To learn more about how to write applications using the X DevAPI, see
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/x-devapi-userguide/en/index.html. For more
information about how the X DevAPI is implemented in Connector/Net, see
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/dev/connector-net.

Please note that the X DevAPI requires at least MySQL Server version
5.7.12 or higher with the X …

Dear MySQL users,

MySQL Connector/Net 8.0.9 is the sixth development release that expands
cross-platform support to Linux and macOS when using Microsoft’s .NET Core

on Windows, Linux and macOS. We are very excited about this change and
really look forward to your feedback on it!

MySQL Connector/Net 8.0.9 is also the eighth development release of MySQL
Connector/Net to add support for the new X DevAPI.  The X DevAPI enables
application developers to write code that combines the strengths of the

Dear MySQL users,

MySQL Connector/J 8.0.7 Development Release is a development milestone release for the 8.0.x series.
This release includes the following new features and changes, also described in more detail on https://dev.mysql.com/doc/relnotes/connector-j/8.0/en/news-8-0-7.html

MySQL Connectors and other MySQL client tools and applications now synchronize the first digit of their version number with the (highest) MySQL server version they support.
This change makes it easy and intuitive to decide which client version to use for which server version.

Connector/J 8.0.7 is the first release to use the new numbering. It is the successor to Connector/J 6.0.6

As always, we recommend that you check the “CHANGES” file in the download archive to be aware of changes in behavior that might affect your …

MySQL Connector/C++ 2.0.3 is the next development milestone of the MySQL Connector/C++ 2.0 series, and the first public release. Apart from covering more X DevAPI features, it adds a new, plain C API, called XAPI, that offers functionality similar to X DevAPI to applications written in plain C. Thus, not only can MySQL Connector/C++ be used to write C++ applications, as before.

Now, using the XAPI, MySQL Connector/C++ can be used to write plain C applications to access MySQL Database implementing a document store as well as execute traditional plain SQL statements. For more information about XAPI, refer to the documentation at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/dev/connector-cpp/xapi_ref.html.

In the previous blog post we explained how work with the collection CRUD operations. In this blog post we are going to explain other functions that are related to document management.

We already know how to create collections, as well as how to add, delete, update and retrieve documents from them. But, how can we add a new field to a document or documents that are in a collection?

The following code demonstrates how to do it:

var mysqlx = require('mysqlx');
mysqlx.getSession({
  host: 'host',
  port: '33060',
  dbUser: 'root',
  dbPassword: 'my pass'
}).then(function (session) {
  var schema = session.getSchema('mySchema');
  var coll = schema.getCollection('myColl');
  var query = "$.name == 'NewField'";
  var newDoc = { name: 'NewField', description: 'a new field', 
                 extra: ['hello', 'world'] …

In the previous blog post we explained how to create schemas and collections. In this one we are going to explain how to work with collections: adding, updating and deleting documents.

The following code demonstrates how to add a single document to an existing collection:

var mysqlx = require('mysqlx');
mysqlx.getSession({
  host: 'host',
  port: '33060',
  dbUser: 'root',
  dbPassword: 'my pass'
}).then(function (session) {
  var schema = session.getSchema('mySchema');
  var coll = schema.getCollection('myColl');
  var newDoc = { name: 'Test Name', description: 'Test Description' };

  coll.add(newDoc).execute().then(function (added) {
    console.log('Document(s) added: '
                + added.getAffectedItemsCount());
    session.close();
  })
  .catch(function (err) {
    console.log(err.message);
    console.log(err.stack); …
