machinepack-oracle
Structured Node.js bindings for Oracle.
See https://github.com/node-machine/driver-interface for more background information about this package.
This package follows the convention used for the machinepack-mysql package. It uses the oracledb package with Oracle InstantClient to provide a NodeJS interface to Oracle databases. The InstantClient software must be properly installed as a prerequisite for oracledb (see the oracledb instructions for details).
The package was tested using InstantClient 19, and Oracledb version 5.
The focus of development thus far has been use of the package to create a database adapter for the SailsJS framework, primarily for querying an Oracle database (as opposed to creating, updating, or deleting data). For this reason, the transaction interface has not been implemented (all operations are immediately committed).
