Oracle just released the official Node.js connector for the Oracle DB!

[Jordan Kasper]

Still pretty fresh, but Oracle just released their Node.js connector for OracleDB! They're on v0.2.4, and presumably they'll be gearing up development on this considering the velocity in the developer community. It's clear that they recognize the interest in Node applications that connect to their database and are finally rewarding us with a driver that has been designed from the ground up for performance, scalability and usability. And, releasing the source on Github, it seems that Oracle is also giving credence to the open source developer community and letting devs choose how to use this piece (and modify it with an Apache 2.0 license).

Thoughts? Anyone using Oracle with their Node.js applications currently?

We've been running hapi servers as a RESTful front-end to Oracle applications in production for about 6 months now.  We're currently using the node-oracle driver, but I'm about to run the Oracle driver through our test cases.  Assuming it passes our tests, we'll switch right away.

Sweet. I'm interested in hearing how it compares.

Hi,

I’m curious about this… Jeff did your tests pass?

We’ve been maintaining the strong-oracle fork of node-oracle and worked with the Oracle team to get this driver released so we don’t have to maintain one anymore. I’m hoping this official driver makes good progress. I know they’re hungry for feedback and testing.

Hi Jordan,

This is really cool. We are currently using the node-oracle driver but we are definitely going to take a very serious look at the official driver.
