node-jdbc
JDBC API Wrapper for node.js
Looking for a more active maintainer or sponsers
As you've probably noticed, I've not been able to actively maintain this project in a few years. The project looks to be used by quite a few people, so I'm willing to add collaborators to this project who are interested in more active maintenance. You can message me at jason.g.ozias@gmail.com.
If I receieve enough sponsor interest I will switch back to active maintenance of this project.
Latest Version
- 0.7.6
Installation
- Release:
npm i --save jdbc - Development:
npm i --save jdbc@next(this will install code from the master branch).
Please visit node-jdbc for information on installing with npm.

Major API Refactor
- One Instance to Rule Them All (JVM)
node-java spins up one JVM instance only. Due to this fact, any JVM options and classpath setup have to happen before the first java call. I've created a small wrapper (jinst.js) to help out with this. See below for example usage. I usually add this to every file that may be an entry point. The unit tests are setup like this due to the fact that order can't be guaranteed.
var jinst = require('jdbc/lib/jinst');
// isJvmCreated will be true after the first java call. When this happens, the
// options and classpath cannot be adjusted.
if (!jinst.isJvmCreated()) {
// Add all java options required by your project here. You get one chance to
// setup the options before the first java call.
jinst.addOption("-Xrs");
// Add all jar files required by your project here. You get one chance to
// setup the classpath before the first java call.
jinst.setupClasspath(['./drivers/hsqldb.jar',
'./drivers/derby.jar',
'./drivers/derbyclient.jar',
'./drivers/derbytools.jar']);
}- Connection Pooling
Everyone gets a pool now. By default with no extra configuration, the pool
is created with one connection that can be reserved/released. Currently, the
pool is configured with two options: minpoolsize and maxpoolsize. If
minpoolsize is set, when the pool is initialized, minpoolsize connections
will be created. If maxpoolsize is set (the default value is minpoolsize),
and you try and reserve a connection and there aren't any available, the pool
will be grown. This can happen until maxpoolsize connections have been
reserved. The pool should be initialized after configuration is set with the
initialize() function. JDBC connections can then be acquired with the
reserve() function and returned to the pool with the release() function.
Below is the unit test for the pool that demonstrates this behavior.
var _ = require('lodash');
var nodeunit = require('nodeunit');
var jinst = require('../lib/jinst');
var Pool = require('../lib/pool');
if (!jinst.isJvmCreated()) {
jinst.addOption("-Xrs");
jinst.setupClasspath(['./drivers/hsqldb.jar',
'./drivers/derby.jar',
'./drivers/derbyclient.jar',
'./drivers/derbytools.jar']);
}
var config = {
url: 'jdbc:hsqldb:hsql://localhost/xdb',
user : 'SA',
password: '',
minpoolsize: 2,
maxpoolsize: 3
};
var testpool = null;
var testconn = null;
module.exports = {
setUp: function(callback) {
if (testpool === null) {
testpool = new Pool(config);
}
callback();
},
testinitialize: function(test) {
// Initialize the pool (create minpoolsize connections)
testpool.initialize(function(err) {
test.expect(1);
test.equal(null, err);
test.done();
});
},
testreserve: function(test) {
// Reserve a connection.
testpool.reserve(function(err, conn) {
test.expect(4);
test.equal(null, err);
test.ok(conn && typeof conn == 'object');
test.equal(testpool._pool.length, 1);
test.equal(testpool._reserved.length, 1);
testconn = conn;
test.done();
});
},
testrelease: function(test) {
// Release a connection.
testpool.release(testconn, function(err, conn) {
test.expect(3);
test.equal(null, err);
test.equal(testpool._pool.length, 2);
test.equal(testpool._reserved.length, 0);
testconn = null;
test.done();
});
},
testreserverelease: function(test) {
// Reserve then release a connection.
testpool.reserve(function(err, conn) {
if (err) {
console.log(err);
} else {
testpool.release(conn, function(err) {
test.expect(3);
test.equal(null, err);
test.equal(testpool._pool.length, 2);
test.equal(testpool._reserved.length, 0);
test.done();
});
}
});
},
testreservepastmin: function(test) {
// Reserve connections past minpoolsize. This will grow the pool.
var conns = [];
for(i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
testpool.reserve(function(err, conn) {
conns.push(conn);
if (i == 3) {
test.expect(2);
test.equal(testpool._pool.length, 0);
test.equal(testpool._reserved.length, 3);
_.each(conns, function(conn) {
testpool.release(conn, function(err) {});
});
test.done();
}
});
}
},
testovermax: function(test) {
// Reserve connections past maxpoolsize. This will max out the pool, and
// throw an error when the last reserve request is made.
var conns = [];
for(i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
testpool.reserve(function(err, conn) {
if (err) {
if (i == 3) {
test.expect(3);
test.ok(err);
test.equal(testpool._reserved.length, 3);
test.equal(testpool._pool.length, 0);
_.each(conns, function(conn) {
testpool.release(conn, function(err) {});
});
test.done();
} else {
console.log(err);
}
} else {
conns.push(conn);
}
});
}
}
};- Fully Wrapped Connection API
The Java Connection API has almost been completely wrapped. See connection.js for a full list of functions.
conn.setAutoCommit(false, function(err) {
if (err) {
callback(err);
} else {
callback(null);
}
});- ResultSet processing separated from statement execution
ResultSet processing has been separated from statement execution to allow for
more flexibility. The ResultSet returned from executing a select query can
still be processed into an object array using the toObjArray() function on the
resultset object.
// Select statement example.
conn.createStatement(function(err, statement) {
if (err) {
callback(err);
} else {
statement.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM blah;", function(err, resultset) {
if (err) {
callback(err)
} else {
// Convert the result set to an object array.
resultset.toObjArray(function(err, results) {
if (results.length > 0) {
console.log("ID: " + results[0].ID);
}
callback(null, resultset);
});
}
});
}
});- Oracle and Closing Statements
If you are experiencing the "ORA-01000: maximum open cursors exceeded" error, you can avoid it by closing your statements with:
statement.close()- Automatically Closing Idle Connections
If you pass a maxidle property in the config for a new connection pool,
pool.reserve() will close stale connections, and will return a sufficiently fresh connection, or a new connection. maxidle can be number representing the maximum number of milliseconds since a connection was last used, that a connection is still considered alive (without making an extra call to the database to check that the connection is valid). If maxidle is a falsy value or is absent from the config, this feature does not come into effect. This feature is useful, when connections are automatically closed from the server side after a certain period of time, and when it is not appropriate to use the connection keepalive feature.
Usage
Some mininal examples are given below. I've also created a node-example-jdbc project with more thorough examples.
Initialize
var JDBC = require('jdbc');
var jinst = require('jdbc/lib/jinst');

minpoolsize: 10,
maxpoolsize: 100,
// Note that if you sepecify the user and password as below, they get
// converted to properties and submitted to getConnection that way. That
// means that if your driver doesn't support the 'user' and 'password'
// properties this will not work. You will have to supply the appropriate
// values in the properties object instead.
user: 'SA',
password: '',
properties: {}
};
// or user/password in url
