Create ODBC Connection in Node.js with Devart ODBC Drivers

Node.js has seen a significant rise in popularity among software developers due to its effective management of server-side operations. Powered by the V8 JavaScript engine from Chrome, it is specifically designed to create applications that are scalable and deliver high performance. Creating an ODBC connection in Node.js using Devart ODBC drivers allows users to interact with various databases easily. Hence, ODBC connectors offer a reliable and high-performance way to access data across databases like MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Oracle, and more.

Key Features

Direct mode

Native connection to traditional databases and cloud-based services from Node.js using an ODBC driver. No need to use client software to establish Node.js ODBC connection and fetch your sales figures table from databases such as Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL, or cloud services such as Salesforce, QuickBooks, or Zoho CRM.

SQL data type mapping

Full support and mapping of data source-specific SQL data types to the standard ODBC data types. Access diverse data stores from Node.js through a unified interface with exceptional speed. You can create custom mappings between the data source fields and ODBC data types.

Secure connection

Devart ODBC Drivers use SSL / SSH and HTTPS tunneling to protect user data as it flows between a remote server and Node.js over the Internet. Tunneling allows you to send communications securely between machines.

ANSI SQL-92 standard support for cloud services

Devart ODBC drivers address one of the major challenges of retrieving data from email marketing, CRM, accounting and other cloud applications into Node.js: their lack of adequate API support for SQL-92 standard SQL commands. Our drivers are designed to get the most out of the API of a cloud-based service.

How to connect Node.js to ODBC data source and access data in 3 steps

Install the driver and configure an ODBC data source in the driver settings

01. Install the Devart ODBC Driver and configure an ODBC data source. Ensure the connection is established by clicking Test Connection. Next, hit the OK button.

Select the ODBC connection
Write the connection script

02. In any text/source code editor, e.g. in Notepad++, edit the index.js file by writing the script allowing a successful connection to the previously configured ODBC driver.

Write the script to connect to the Devart ODBC driver
Run the connection script

03. To proceed, write node index.js in PowerShell or any other desirable software of your choice. Finally, you can run the script, that you have just configured.

Run the script in any desirable software, e.g. PowerShell

ODBC Data Connectors

Fast and unified access to databases

We offer you optimal data access by means of ODBC and native database client libraries. However, you can avoid using client libraries, since our ODBC drivers are able to connect via the native protocol directly without using client software at all.

Why pick Devart ODBC Drivers for importing data to Node.js?

Fully Unicode-compliant ODBC Drivers

Fully Unicode-compliant ODBC Drivers

Unicode is the universal standard for encoding characters in most languages. Our ODBC Drivers provide a Unicode-compliant way to work with strings and characters in databases: they are capable of mapping Unicode function calls and string data types to ANSI encoding.

All major versions of data stores are supported

All major versions of data stores are supported

Our ODBC Drivers can be used to interact and perform SQL CRUD operations on popular traditional databases and cloud services from Node.js, such as MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, Salesforce, or Mailchimp.

Regular feature update rollouts and timely bug fixes

Regular feature updates and timely bug fixes

We frequently release new versions of ODBC Drivers with new capabilities or enhancements for already existing features. Changes and new features are added to the roadmap based on customer feedback. Bug fixes and minor improvements are released as nightly builds to resolve issues in a timely fashion.

Strict compliance with Microsoft ODBC 3.52 Specification

Strict compliance with Microsoft ODBC 3.52 Specification

Our ODBC Drivers provide full support for the standard Open Database Connectivity API functions and data types. ODBC interface allows Node.js to connect to ODBC databases using the SQL language. Additionally, we have designed Advanced Connection String parameters that implement different types of behavior.

Exceptional SQL query performance and bulk updates

Exceptional SQL query performance and bulk updates

Our ODBC Drivers allow you to perform bulk record update in Node.js in a single update statement while maintaining decent update speed. When you need to update a table with a million records, you can use a single update operation which significantly reduces execution time compared to row-by-row operations.
