`<?php
$session = mysql_xdevapi\getSession("mysqlx://user:password@localhost");
$session->sql("DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS addressbook")->execute();
$result_sql = $session->sql("CREATE DATABASE addressbook")->execute();
var_dump($result_sql);
$schema = $session->getSchema("addressbook");
$collection = $schema->createCollection("humans");
$result_collection = $collection->add(
'{"name": "Jane",
