SET NAME uft8mb4 loop when doing querys

I followed the first query example and it's not working and not giving any errors. Maybe it's because my database is on a different port than default.

My code

const mysql = require('mysql2');

const connection = mysql.createConnection(
    {
    host: 'database host',
    port: '6033',
    user:'clippie',
    password:'clippe password',
    database: 'clippie',
    }
);

connection.query(
    'SELECT * FROM questions',
    function(err, results){
        if(err) throw err;
        console.log('getting questions');
        console.log(results);
});

I tested this with mysql package and worked like it should but for what i'm maknig i need prepared statements what mysql not supports.

Start by reproducing the provided mysql2 createConnection and SELECT query using port 6033, then compare its behavior with the mysql package. Check whether the query callback receives results or an error, and document the cause and a reproducible resolution for the connection loop.
