title: Cannot use await in mysql2 package
body: <p>I am trying to create a simple app using NodeJs and Mysql. I am using the Mysql2 library to create the connection to my db.
  The examples I see online, all of them use await when doing a query on the database. However, when I try to do it, it shows **'await' has no effect on the type of this expression. **  <a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/jabzs.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer">This is where I am using the await keyword</a> <a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/2MdYl.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer">This is where I have created the connection</a></p>
