Firebird database on social networks

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';

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

PARAMETRIZED QUERIES

    // db = DATABASE
    db.query('SELECT ID, ALIAS, USERPICTURE FROM USER', function(err, rows) {

        if (err)
            throw err;

        // first row
        rows[0].userpicture(function(err, name, e) {

            if (err)
                throw err;

            // +v0.2.4
            // e.pipe(writeStream/Response);

            // e === EventEmitter
            e.on('data', function(chunk) {
                // reading data
            });

            e.on('end', function() {
                // end reading
                // IMPORTANT: close the connection

            });
        });

    });
});

    if (err)
        throw err;

    // db = DATABASE
    db.sequentially('SELECT * FROM BIGTABLE', function(row, index) {

        // EXAMPLE
        stream.write(JSON.stringify(row));

    }, function(err) {

            });
        });
    });
});

EVENTS

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

    if (err)
        throw err;

    db.on('row', function(row, index, isObject) {
        // index === Number
        // isObject === is row object or array?
    });

    db.on('result', function(result) {
        // result === Array
    });

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

    });

    db.on('detach', function(isPoolConnection) {
        // isPoolConnection == Boolean
    });

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

    });

    db.on('error', function(err) {

    });

    db.on('transaction', function(isolation) {
        // isolation === Number
    });

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

    });

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

    });

    db.detach();
});

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
