With the virtual database created, you are ready to connect to SAP HANA XS Advanced data from Node.js.
Query SAP HANA XS Advanced from Node.js
The following example shows how to define a connection and execute queries to SAP HANA XS Advanced with the SQL Server module. You will need the following information:
- Host name, or address, and port: The address of your Connect Server instance and the port (1433)
- Username and password: The username and password of a user you authorized on Connect Server
- Database name: The database you configured for SAP HANA XS Advanced (SAPHanaXSA1)
Connect to SAP HANA XS Advanced data and start executing queries with the code below:
const sql = require('mssql'); const config = { user: 'your_connect_username', password: 'your_connect_password', server: 'connect_server_url', port: 1433, // optional, defaults to 1433 database: 'SAPHanaXSA1', authentication: { type: 'default' }, options: { encrypt: true } } console.log("Starting..."); connectAndQuery(); async function connectAndQuery() { try { var poolConnection = await sql.connect(config); console.log("Reading rows from the table..."); var resultSet = await poolConnection.request().query(`SELECT * FROM table_name`); console.log(`${resultSet.recordset.length} rows returned.`); // output column headers var columns = ""; for (var column in resultSet.recordset.columns) { columns += column + ", "; } console.log("%s ", columns.substring(0, columns.length - 2)); // ouput row contents from default record set resultSet.recordset.forEach(row => { console.log("%s %s", row.CategoryName, row.ProductName); }); // close connection only when we're certain application is finished poolConnection.close(); } catch (err) { console.error(err.message); } }
