MySQL Document Store is a JSON document storage solution built on top of MySQL. One feature of MySQL Document Store that can help speed up searches is the ability to create indexes of data contained within our JSON documents.

MySQL Document Store is a “NoSQL” database built on top of MySQL.

As I mentioned in my last post, I am a big fan of MySQL Shell. Until recently, I have only used MySQL Shell to connect to a local instance of MySQL running on my development machine.

If it seems like this space was neglected for a while, well…that is because it was.

This is the second part of a series of posts that will help us write better tests…and this one should seem kind of obvious - making sure we test every logical condition in our code.
