We will explore the latest component services offered by the server. And then we will check how one can use the table access service to make a HTTP server component that allows access to table data via HTTP without a middle-man.

I'll explain the newest addition to the MySQL wire format that allows client applications to pass data in the COM_QUERY command that then can be processed by the server and components in various ways. I'll demonstrate how an audit plugin and the SQL query itself can take advantage of the data passed by the client.

You probably saw the new MySQL 8.0 commands INSTALL COMPONENT and UNINSTALL COMPONENT and been wondering "is there anything for me". I'll try to explain what the component infrastructure is, why do we need it, what's available through it and where do we have the ambition to get it.
