seneca-sybase-store

Sybase database layer for Seneca framework

Current Version: 0.0.3

Tested on: Node 0.10.32, Seneca 0.5.21

Use

For using this plugin, please see how the Seneca Data Entities feature works (http://senecajs.org/data-entities.html).

Building

This plugin is base on the node-odbc module (https://github.com/wankdanker/node-odbc), which is communicates with the native ODBC layer, and thus requires native compilation. Native compilation is managed by node-gyp. (https://github.com/TooTallNate/node-gyp). Please see that project for additional prerequisites including Python 2.7, and C/C++ tool chain. See these module requirements for the correct build and further requirements.

Tests

Prerequisite:

• Must have Adaptive Server Enterprise installed with a working ODBC DataSource. I'ts possible to download a ASE evaluation copy from here: http://infocenter.sybase.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.sybase.infocenter.help.ase.16.0/doc/html/title.html
• Go to the /scripts directory and setup the test DB by running the schema.sql script in there (replace SERVERNAME with the ASE server and setup the system to correctly execute the ASE isql tool):

isql -S SERVERNAME -U sa -i schema.sql

• Setup the ODBC Connection String in dbconfig.example.js, for instance if you use FreeTDS (http://www.freetds.org/), the connection String for the test has the form:

DRIVER={FreeTDS};SERVERNAME=XXXX;DATABASE=senecatest;UID=senecatest;PWD=senecatest;

Note that in this case the SERVERNAME is the ODBC Server Name, not the ASE Server Name.

• Execute the tests using npm test as usual
