Summary

In this chapter, you worked your way through a lot, so take a moment to recap what you have learned so far. Using Node.js, you learned how to insert, read, modify, and delete data from the tables; how to output the data to the console and the browser; and how to format the data to make it easier and more pleasant to read for the user.

With these skills, you should now be able to construct complex applications that work with MySQL databases. Queries to modify and read data are common for applications using MySQL databases, so these skills are essential not only for Node.js but any other programming language that you might use with MySQL databases. Output formatting is an important aspect of working with MySQL databases. When you want to show a user a set of data, it is essential for it to be easily readable. Formats such as HTML tables are a great way in which to display database data to a user, and they are commonly used in the industry.
