# @keyvhq/mysql [keyv](https://github.com/microlinkhq/keyv) > MySQL/MariaDB storage adapter for [Keyv](https://github.com/microlinkhq/keyv). ## Install ```shell npm install --save keyv @keyvhq/mysql ``` ## Usage ```js const Keyv = require('keyv') const keyv = new Keyv('mysql://user:pass@localhost:3306/dbname') keyv.on('error', handleConnectionError) ``` You can specify a custom table with the `table` option and the primary key size with `keySize`. e.g: ```js const keyv = new Keyv('mysql://user:pass@localhost:3306/dbname', { table: 'cache', keySize: 255 }) ``` **Note:** Some MySQL/MariaDB installations won't allow a key size longer than 767 bytes. If you get an error on table creation try reducing `keySize` to 191 or lower. ## License **@keyvhq/mysql** © [Microlink](https://microlink.io), Released under the [MIT](https://github.com/microlinkhq/keyv/blob/master/LICENSE.md) License.
