fn query(database: MySQL, query: String) -> Array

Build a service in services/database.vsl;

// Import the plugin stored in the `plugins` directory.
import "plugins/libvsmtp_plugin_mysql" as mysql;

export const database = mysql::connect(#{
    // Connect to a database on the system with the 'greylist-manager' user and 'my-password' password.
    url: "mysql://localhost/?user=greylist-manager&password=my-password",
    timeout: "1m",

import "services/database" as srv;

#{
    connect: [
        action "get records from my database" || {
            // For the sake of this example, we assume that there is a populated
            // table called 'my_table' in the database.
            const records = srv::database.query("SELECT * FROM my_table");

            // `records` is an array, we can run a for loop and print all records.
            log("info", "fetching mysql records ...");
            for record in records {
                log("info", ` -> ${record}`);
            }
