oracledb-pb version 1.12

oracledb-pb is a fork of node-oracledb which I have published to npm for the benefit of allowing the community to get up and running with oracledb quickly. It's only external non-npm dependency is the Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime. The module even downloads and installs the necessary Oracle Instant Client Packages for you and adds the folder to your PATH environment variable.

oracledb-pb is located within my node-oracledb fork: easy_pb which is based on the work of my node-oracledb fork: prebuild_support. easy_pb's only differnce is that it has a dependency on instantclient, so that upon installation the Oracle Instant Client Packages get installed, and lib/oracledb is modified to add Instant Client to path.

Install:

npm install oracledb-pb

Use:

var oracledb = require('oracledb-pb');

Disclaimer: For small projects, testing or rapid prototyping I recommend oracledb-pb but for anything large scale or something that you will be publishing to npm I don't recommend it. The main reason is because it is not officially supported by Oracle and another reason is because I can't make any guarantees as to how frequently or how long term I can maintain it. Although, I do plan to automate the publishing of upstream node-oracledb changes which should significantly reduce the maintaince needed.
