AshMysql

Welcome! AshMysql is a MySQL data layer for Ash Framework that is derived from AshSqlite

Idiosyncrasies and Warnings

• AshMysql is at a very alpha stage of development: expect bugs and problem!
• It is currently developped with MySQL 8.0. Several changes are still known to be required to work correctly on other versions (particularly regarding collations).
• For now, you should probably have a uuid_primary_key in your resources. Things may crash or be buggy if you don't.
• AshMysql uses the Ecto :string (=> MySQL VARCHAR(255)) type (Unlike AshPostgres and AshSqlite) when generating migrations for Ash String fields. The :text Ecto type (=> MySQL TEXT) is not used by default because of various MySQL peculiarities. Use the migration_types option of your mysql DSL block if you want :text fields. See #25 for discussion on the subject.
• If you want case sensitive / insensitive comparisons to work correctly (i.e. in a strict way; not like MySQL's defaults) you currently must use the recommended utf8mb4_0900_as_cs collation in your config and when creating your db/tables.
