This document describes a GitHub project that allows user-defined functions (UDFs) to be written in JavaScript and used within MySQL queries. Key points include:
- The mysqlv8udfs project allows JavaScript programs to be executed as scalar and aggregate UDFs using Google's V8 engine embedded within MySQL.
- Functions like js(), jsudf(), and jsagg() allow JavaScript code to be passed to and executed from SQL queries. This provides programmability benefits over traditional SQL and stored routines.
- The JS_DAEMON plugin runs the V8 engine in the background, exposing status variables. It also handles argument processing and calling initialization/cleanup functions for each UDF.
