Changelog for version v0.2.x

  • added auto-reconnect
  • added sequentially selects
  • events for connection (attach, detach, row, result, transaction, commit, rollback, error, etc.)
  • performance improvements
  • supports inserting/updating buffers and streams
  • reading blobs (sequentially)
  • pooling
  • database.detach() waits for last command
  • better unit-test
  • best of use with total.js - web application framework for node.js

Installation

npm install node-firebird

Usage

var Firebird = require('node-firebird');

Methods

  • Firebird.escape(value) -> return {String} - prevent for SQL Injections
  • Firebird.attach(options, function(err, db)) attach a database
  • Firebird.create(options, function(err, db)) create a database
  • Firebird.attachOrCreate(options, function(err, db)) attach or create database
  • Firebird.pool(max, options, function(err, db)) -> return {Object} create a connection pooling

## Connection types

Connection options

var options = {};

options.host = '127.0.0.1';
options.port = 3050;
options.database = 'database.fdb';
options.user = 'SYSDBA';
options.password = 'masterkey';
options.lowercase_keys = false; // set to true to lowercase keys
options.role = null;            // default
options.pageSize = 4096;        // default when creating database

Classic

Firebird.attach(options, function(err, db) {

    if (err)
        throw err;

    // db = DATABASE
    db.query('SELECT * FROM TABLE', function(err, result) {
        // IMPORTANT: close the connection
        db.detach();
    });

});

Pooling

// 5 = the number is count of opened sockets
var pool = Firebird.pool(5, options);

// Get a free pool
pool.get(function(err, db) {

    if (err)
        throw err;

    // db = DATABASE
    db.query('SELECT * FROM TABLE', function(err, result) {
        // IMPORTANT: release the pool connection
        db.detach();
    });
});

// Destroy pool
pool.destroy();

Database object (db)

Methods

  • db.query(query, [params], function(err, result)) - classic query, returns Array of Object
  • db.execute(query, [params], function(err, result)) - classic query, returns Array of Array
  • db.sequentially(query, [params], function(row, index), function(err)) - sequentially query
  • db.detach(function(err)) detach a database
  • db.transaction(isolation, function(err, transaction)) create transaction

Transaction methods

  • transaction.query(query, [params], function(err, result)) - classic query, returns Array of Object
  • transaction.execute(query, [params], function(err, result)) - classic query, returns Array of Array
  • transaction.commit(function(err)) commit current transaction
  • transaction.rollback(function(err)) rollback current transaction

Examples

    });

    db.on('commit', function() {

    });

    db.on('rollback', function() {

    });

Escaping query values

var sql1 = 'SELECT * FROM TBL_USER WHERE ID>' + Firebird.escape(1);
var sql2 = 'SELECT * FROM TBL_USER WHERE NAME=' + Firebird.escape('Pe\'er');
var sql3 = 'SELECT * FROM TBL_USER WHERE CREATED<=' + Firebird.escape(new Date());
var sql4 = 'SELECT * FROM TBL_USER WHERE NEWSLETTER=' + Firebird.escape(true);

// or db.escape()

console.log(sql1);
console.log(sql2);
console.log(sql3);
console.log(sql4);

Backup Service example

Firebird.attach(options, function(err, svc) {
    if (err)
        return;
    svc.backup(
        {
            database:'/DB/MYDB.FDB',
            files: [
                    {
                     filename:'/DB/MYDB.FBK',
                     sizefile:'0'
                    }
                   ]
        },
        function(err, data) {
            console.log(data);
        });

getLog and getFbserverInfos Service examples with use of stream and object return

fb.attach(_connection, function(err, svc) {
    if (err)
        return;
    // all function that return a stream take two optional parameter
    // optread => byline or buffer  byline use isc_info_svc_line and buffer use isc_info_svc_to_eof
    // buffersize => is the buffer for service manager it can't exceed 8ko (i'm not sure)

    svc.getLog({optread:'buffer', buffersize:2048}, function (err, data) {
            // data is a readablestream that contain the firebird.log file
            console.log(err);
            data.on('data', function (data) {
                console.log(data.toString());
            });
            data.on('end', function() {
                console.log('finish');
            });
        });

    // an other exemple to use function that return object
    svc.getFbserverInfos(
            {
            "dbinfo" : true,
            "fbconfig" : true,
            "svcversion" : true,
            "fbversion" : true,
            "fbimplementation" : true,
            "fbcapatibilities" : true,
            "pathsecuritydb" : true,
            "fbenv" : true,
            "fbenvlock" : true,
            "fbenvmsg" : true
        }, {}, function (err, data) {
            console.log(err);
            console.log(data);
        });
});

Charset for database connection is always UTF-8

node-firebird doesn't let you chose the charset connection, it will always use UTF8. Node is unicode, no matter if your database is using another charset to store string or blob, Firebird will transliterate automatically.

This is why you should use Firebird 2.5 server at least.

Firebird 3.0 Support

Firebird new wire protocol is not supported yet so for Firebird 3.0 you need to add the following in firebird.conf

AuthServer = Legacy_Auth
WireCrypt = Disabled
