How to use Microsoft SQL Server with Node.js?

To use Microsoft SQL Server use with Node.js, we can use the node-mssql package.

To install it, we run

npm install mssql

Then we use it by writing

const sql = require("mssql");

const config = {
  server: "192.168.1.212",
  user: "test",
  password: "test",
};

sql.connect(config, (err) => {
  const request = new sql.Request();
  request.query("select 'hello world'", (err, recordset) => {
    console.log(recordset);
  });
});

We call sql.connect to make the database connection with the connection info specified in config.

Then in the callback, we make a sql.Request instance and call query on it to make a SQL query to the Microsoft SQL Server.

We call query with a SQL query string and a callback to get the returned results from recordset.

Conclusion

To use Microsoft SQL Server use with Node.js, we can use the node-mssql package.
