Access SQL Server from node.js on Linux

Question

How can I connect to SQL Server or SQL Azure from node.js when running on Linux.

The drivers I found on npm all need Windows + VS2005. Is there anyway to access SQL Server from Linux?

Answer 1

The mssql package in nodejs can adapt to next drivers:

• Tedious by Mike D Pilsbury (pure javascript - windows/osx/linux)
• Microsoft Driver for Node.js for SQL Server by Microsoft Corporation (native - windows only)
• node-tds by Chad Retz (pure javascript - windows/osx/linux)

It is stated that node-tds and Tedious both work on linux.
