Recently, I have written extensively about using JavaScript to create stored functions in MySQL. I have talked about searching, filtering, and sorting JSON array data. I have discussed using top-level JavaScript objects such as Intl and Math. Today, I will talk about debugging stored functions written in JavaScript.
