node.js sybase driver

I am developing an app using node.js express framework and would need to connect to sybase ASE database. I did enough search and couldn't find the sybase driver for node.js. doesn't node.js support sybase or should I use something like a generic driver?

Solution

  • An exhaustive list of database drivers is on the node.js wiki here:

    But no Sybase so that leaves using an ODBC driver which, if on *nix, then you have the option of:

    Alternatively, Sybase ASE has it's own web services engine which exposes SQL and stored procedures through a SOAP API. Your best option may be to just roll your own SOAP client in node against that API, perhaps using node-soap.
