Why is the process not terminated after release() ?

[GreenFlag31]

try {
  const pool = mysql
    .createPool({
      host: '127.0.0.1',
      user: 'root',
      password: 'root',
      port: '3306',
      database: 'db_example',
    })
    .promise();

  const result = await pool.query('SELECT * FROM node_table');
  const rows = result[0];
  console.log(rows);

  const connection = await pool.getConnection();
  connection.release();
  // process.exit();
} catch (err) {
  console.error(err);
}

After I'm running this code, I'm unable to type anything in the terminal, the process is not terminated even if I'm using release(). I'm forced to use process.exit().

Is it normal? (I'm new to mysql2)

Thank you

Hi, @GreenFlag31 🙋🏻‍♂️

It's because you've released the connection, but the pool is still open.

You can end your pool using await pool.end().
