nedgedb

Node module for Progress OpenEdge database with nosql front end interface.

Description

This library helps you perform CRUD operations on OpenEdge Database both synchronuosly or asynchronously from a node.js application. The node module communicates with the ODBC drivers installed which in turn fetches records from the database as JSON objects.

Installation

``bash
npm install nedgedb
`

$3

Requires installed unixODBC
* Ubuntu/Debian $ sudo apt-get unixodbc unixodbc-dev
* Fedora/Red Hat/CentOS $ sudo yum install unixODBC unixODBC-devel libtool-ltdl libtool-ltdl-devel
* Proper odbc configuration, follow the steps here to correctly configure your odbc installation
* http://knowledgebase.progress.com/articles/Article/P21252

Configuring OpenEdge

Set progress environment by the command proenv.
Prodb creates a database.
Proserve starts the OpenEdge database on a specific port number
`bash
proenv
prodb "databasename_to_be_copied" "databasename_to_be_copied_to"
proserve "databasename" -S "portnumber"
`
We would be required to use prodb only for the first time.

Sample Programs

##### Note : Replace the dsn_name, user_name, password and table_name in the following sample programs with the actual credentials of your openedge database

`javascript
var nedgedb = require('nedgedb');

var db = new nedgedb.database("dsn_name","user_name","password");

var records=[];
var collection;

var err = db.connectSync();
if(err){
throw err;
}
else{
console.log("\nConnected Successfully");
collection = db.collection("table_name");
}

var query = { "column1" : { "$eq" : 22222} };
var list = [column1,column2...];
var order = {CustNum : 1};
var limit = 30;
/*
collection.find() attributes:
1.query (Where clause of SQL given in json similar to mongodb)
2.list (All the columns that are to be fetched to be given in an array)
3.order (Sorted order of the given records to be given in json similat to mongodb)
4.limit (SQL_limit)
5.callback (A cursor to records is returned if the callback is not used)
If the callback is not given it everything in find happens in Sync(similar to findSync)
*/
collection.findSync(query,list,order,limit,function(err,res){
records.push.apply(records,res);
});
console.log("Total number of records Received = ",records.length);

err = db.disconnectSync();
if(err){
throw err;
}
else{
console.log("Disconnected Successfully\n");
}

If order is an empty json, the sotring will be based on primary key
If the limit is negative then all the records are fetched

###Cursor Usage
`javascript
//Cursor Implementation
var nedgedb = require('nedgedb');

var db = new nedgedb.database("dsn_name","user_name","password");

var collection = db.collection("table_name");

var print_res = function(err,res){
if(err){
throw err;
}
else{
console.log(res.CustNum);
console.log();
}
}

var err = db.connectSync();
if(err){
throw err;
}
else{
console.log("\nConnected Successfully\n");
}

/*
If the callback was not provided for the collection.find or collection.findSync a cursor to the records is returned
Cursor functionalities:
--> cursor.err => Error in fetching records
--> cursor.cur_record => Current record number(-1 if no records are fetched)
--> cursor.records => Fetched Records in an array
--> cursor.len => No.of records fetched
--> cursor.record(callback(err,res)) gives the present record in res and err in accessing the record in err.
err = "No_Records" if no records are fetched.
= "End_Of_Records" if present record number was more than the number of fetched records
= "Negative" if a negative record number was attempted to access
= error in fetching otherwise
= 0 if everything was fine
--> cursor.next(offset) skips offset number of records. offset can be +ve or -ve. If no offset is given a default of 1 is taken
--> cursor.rewind() rewinds the cursor
--> cursor.end() takes the cursor to end
*/
var cursor = collection.findSync({},[],{});

cursor.record(print_res);

cursor.next();
cursor.record(print_res);

cursor.rewind();
cursor.record(print_res);

cursor.end();
cursor.record(print_res);

cursor.rewind();
cursor.next(4);
cursor.record(print_res);


err = db.disconnectSync();
if(err){
throw err;
}
else{
console.log("\nDisconnectred Successfully\n");
}
