Body

Name	Type	Description	Required
db_name	string	The database to use.	true
query	string	The query to execute.	true

The params object should use kyes with the format “:AAA”, “$AAA”, or “@AAA” that serve as placeholders for values that are bound to the parameters at a later time.

    ":id": 1
  }
}

In the case of the array, the values are bound to the parameters based on the order of the array.

  "query": "SELECT * FROM example WHERE id = ?",
  "params": [1]
