1. Node-oracledb Overview

The node-oracledb add-on for Node.js powers high performance Oracle Database applications.

The steps below create a Node.js installation for testing. Adjust the steps for your environment.

This node-oracledb release has been tested with Node 4, 6 and 8 on 64-bit Oracle Linux and Windows. The add-on can also build on macOS, and some 32-bit Linux, 32-bit Windows, Solaris and AIX environments, but these architectures have not been fully tested.

Note: Installation steps have changed significantly between node-oracledb 1.x and node-oracledb 2.x. Installation no longer requires Oracle header files. Node-oracledb environment variables OCI_INC_DIR and OCI_LIB_DIR are no longer required. At run time, Oracle client libraries must be in the default library search path, such as PATH (on Windows) or LD_LIBRARY_PATH (on Linux) or in ~/lib (on macOS) because they are dynamically loaded at run time. 'Rpath' linking is no longer performed on Linux or macOS.

2. Node-oracledb Installation Quick Start

  • Install Python 2.7

  • Install a C Compiler with support for C++ 11 (Xcode, gcc 4.7, Visual Studio 2013, or similar)

  • Install Oracle Instant Client 12.2, 12.1 or 11.2. Put the libraries in your OS library search path, such as PATH on Windows, or LD_LIBRARY_PATH on Linux, or in ~/lib on macOS. On Windows, Visual Studio Redistributables are required.

  • Run npm install oracledb to install from the npm registry.

3. Node-oracledb Installation Instructions

Prerequisites

  • Python 2.7.

    Python 2.7 is needed by node-gyp, which is invoked by npm. Run python --version to find the version you have.

    If another version of Python occurs first in your binary path then, when you install node-oracledb, use the --python option to indicate the correct version. For example: npm install --python=/wherever/python-2.7/bin/python oracledb.

  • A compiler.

    Use Visual Studio on Windows, GCC on Linux or Xcode on macOS. When building with Node 4 onward, the compiler must support C++11. Note the default compiler on Oracle Linux 6 and RHEL 6 does not have the required support. Install GCC 4.7 or later or upgrade to Oracle Linux 7.

  • Oracle 12.2, 12.1 or 11.2 client libraries on the machine Node.js is installed on.

    Run node -p "process.arch" and make sure to use matching 64-bit or 32-bit Oracle client libraries.

    Oracle client libraries are included in Oracle Instant Client RPMs or ZIPs, a full Oracle Client, or a database on the same machine. You only need one of these installations.

    Oracle's standard client-server network interoperability applies, see Oracle Support's Doc ID 207303.1. In summary, Oracle Client 12.2 can connect to Oracle Database 11.2 or greater. Oracle Client 12.1 can connect to Oracle Database 10.2 or greater. Oracle Client 11.2 can connect to Oracle Database 9.2 or greater.

  • An Oracle Database to test node-oracledb.

    After installation of node-oracledb, your Node.js applications will be able to connect to your database. The database can be on the same machine as Node.js, or on a remote machine.

    You will need to know user credentials and the connection string for the database.

Source code from GitHub Start with Installing or Working with node-oracledb from GitHub and then follow relevant platform instructions.

3.1 Node-oracledb Installation from GitHub

If you download or clone node-oracledb code from GitHub, you need to make sure the ODPI-C submodule is also included. Otherwise the build will fail with an error like 'dpi.h' file not found.

  • If you download a node-oracledb ZIP file from GitHub, you must separately download the ODPI-C submodule code and extract it into the odpi directory.

  • If you clone the GitHub repository, you need to additionally run:

    git submodule init
    git submodule update
    

Then follow the platform specific instructions to build node-oracledb.

3.2 Node-oracledb Installation on Linux with Instant Client RPMs

Questions and issues can be posted as GitHub Issues.

3.2.1 Install Prerequisites

GCC 4.7 (or later) is needed to install because compiling for Node 4 (or later) requires a C++11 compatible compiler. The default compiler on Oracle Linux 6 and RHEL 6 does not have the required C++11 support. Install GCC 4.7 or later or upgrade to Oracle Linux 7.

Python 2.7 is needed by node-gyp. If another version of Python occurs first in your binary path then, when you install node-oracledb, use the --python option to indicate the correct version. For example: npm install --python=/whereever/python-2.7/bin/python oracledb.

3.2.2 Install Node.js

Download and extract the Node.js "Linux Binaries" package. For example, if you downloaded version 6.9.4 for 64-bit you could install Node.js into /opt:

cd /opt
tar -Jxf node-v6.9.4-linux-x64.tar.xz

Set PATH to include Node.js:

export PATH=/opt/node-v6.9.4-linux-x64/bin:$PATH

3.2.3 Install the add-on

If you are behind a firewall you may need to set your proxy, for example:

export http_proxy=http://my-proxy.example.com:80/
export https_proxy=http://my-proxy.example.com:80/

Install node-oracledb from the npm registry:

npm install oracledb

Note: GCC 4.7 (or later) is required when building with Node.js 4 or later, otherwise the NAN component will fail to build.

3.2.4 Install the free Oracle Instant Client 'Basic' RPM

Download the Basic RPM from Oracle Technology Network and install it with sudo or as the root user:

sudo yum install oracle-instantclient12.2-basic-12.2.0.1.0-1.x86_64.rpm

This will install libaio, if not already present.

If you have a ULN subscription, you can alternatively use yum to install the Basic package after enabling the correct channel for your version of Linux.

If there is no other Oracle software on the machine that will be impacted, then permanently add Instant Client to the run-time link path. For example, with sudo or as the root user:

sudo sh -c "echo /usr/lib/oracle/12.2/client64/lib > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/oracle-instantclient.conf"
sudo ldconfig

Alternatively, every shell running Node.js will need to have the link path set:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/oracle/12.2/client64/lib

3.2.5 Run an example program

Download the example programs from GitHub.

Edit dbconfig.js and set the database credentials to your environment, for example:

module.exports = {
  user          : "hr",
  password      : "welcome",
  connectString : "localhost/XE"
};

Run one of the examples:

node select1.js

Note: Remember to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH or equivalent first.

To run a database on macOS, one option is to use VirtualBox, see The Easiest Way to Install Oracle Database on Mac OS X.

3.6 Node-oracledb Installation on Windows

Questions and issues can be posted as GitHub Issues.

3.6.1 Install Prerequisites

You may need Administrator privileges.

Install a C/C++ build environment such as Microsoft Visual Studio 2015. Compilers supported by Oracle libraries are found in Oracle documentation for each version, for example Oracle Database Client Installation Guide 12c Release 2 (12.2) for Microsoft Windows.

Install the Python 2.7 MSI from www.python.org. Select the customization option to "Add python.exe to Path".

3.6.2 Install Node.js

Install the 64-bit Node.js MSI (e.g. node-v6.11.0-x64.msi) from nodejs.org. Make sure the option to add the Node and npm directories to the path is selected.

3.6.3 Install the add-on

Start Visual Studio and open a Developer Command Prompt within it.

Use set PATH in the shell to confirm the Python and Node.js directories are correctly set. If they are not, then set PATH manually in the shell, or set it in the System Properties panel and restart the command shell.

Make sure the Microsoft Visual Studio environment variables are set appropriately. Use set PATH and verify it contains your Visual Studio paths. If they are not set, use vcvars64.bat (or vcvars.bat if you building with 32-bit binaries) to set the environment. Alternatively you can open the 'Developer Command Prompt for Visual Studio' which has environment variables already configured.

If you are behind a firewall you may need to set your proxy, for example:

set http_proxy=http://my-proxy.example.com:80/
set https_proxy=http://my-proxy.example.com:80/

Install node-oracledb from the npm registry:

npm install oracledb

3.6.4 Install the free Oracle Instant Client ZIP

Building and running node-oracledb needs appropriate Oracle client libraries installed first. These libraries:

  • are included in (i) Oracle Database, or (ii) in the full Oracle client, or (iii) in Oracle Instant Client. You need one of these installed.
  • must be version 11.2 or greater
  • must match the Node.js architecture. Run node -p "process.arch". If you have a 32-bit Node.js, make sure to use a 32-bit Oracle client. Otherwise use a 64-bit Node.js with a 64-bit Oracle client.

If you are installing with a local database or the full Oracle client, make sure that PATH contains the correct binary directory, for example C:\oracle\product\12.1.0\dbhome_1\bin.

Alternatively, if you need appropriate Oracle client libraries, then download the free 64-bit Instant Client Basic ZIP file from Oracle Technology Network. (The 32-bit Instant Client is here).

  • Extract instantclient-basic-windows.x64-12.2.0.1.0.zip

  • Add the directory to PATH. For example on Windows 7, update PATH in Control Panel -> System -> Advanced System Settings -> Advanced -> Environment Variables -> System variables -> PATH and add your path, such as C:\oracle\instantclient_12_2.

If you have multiple versions of Oracle libraries installed, make sure the desired version occurs first in the path.

3.6.5 Install the Visual Studio Redistributables

The PATH variable needs to include the appropriate VS Redistributable:

You can also find out the version required by locating the library OCI.DLL and running:

dumpbin /dependents oci.dll

If you see MSVCR120.dll then you need the VS 2013 Redistributable. If you see MSVCR100.dll then you need the VS 2010 Redistributable. If you see MSVCR80.dll then you need the VS 2005 Redistributable.

3.6.6 Run an example program

Download the example programs from GitHub.

Edit dbconfig.js and set the database credentials to your environment, for example:

module.exports = {
  user          : "hr",
  password      : "welcome",
  connectString : "localhost/XE"
};

Run one of the examples:

node select1.js

3.7 Copying node-oracledb Binaries on Windows

Node-oracledb binaries can be copied between compatible Windows systems.

After node-oracle has been built on the source computer, copy the node_modules\oracledb directory to the destination computer's node_module directory.

Both computers must have the same version and architecture (32-bit or 64-bit) of Node.js.

Oracle client libraries of the same architecture as Node.js should be in the destination computer's PATH. Note the Oracle client library versions do not have to be the same on different computers, but node-oracledb behavior and features may then differ.

The destination computer's PATH needs to include Visual Studio Redistributables. If you have Oracle client 12.2, install the Visual Studio 2013 Redistributable. For Oracle client 12.1 install the Visual Studio 2010 Redistributable. For Oracle client 11.2 install the Visual Studio 2005 Redistributable.

You can also find out the Redistributable required by locating the library OCI.DLL on the source computer and running:

dumpbin /dependents oci.dll

If you see MSVCR120.dll then you need the VS 2013 Redistributable. If you see MSVCR100.dll then you need the VS 2010 Redistributable. If you see MSVCR80.dll then you need the VS 2005 Redistributable.

5. Useful Resources for Node-oracledb

Node-oracledb can be installed on the pre-built Database App Development VM for VirtualBox, which has Oracle Database 12c pre-installed on Oracle Linux.

If you want to use your own database, installing the free Oracle Database 11.2 'XE' Express Edition is quick and easy. Other database editions may be downloaded here or used with Docker.

If you want to install Oracle Linux yourself, it is free from here.

Oracle's free LiveSQL site is a great place to learn SQL and test statements without needing your own database. Any questions about SQL or PL/SQL can be asked at AskTom.

6. Troubleshooting Node-oracledb Installation Problems

Review the Node-oracledb Installation Instructions.

If npm install oracledb fails:

  • Use npm install --verbose oracledb. Review your output and logs. Try to install in a different way. Google anything that looks like an error. Try some potential solutions.

  • Was there a network connection error? Do you need to set http_proxy and/or https_proxy?

  • Does your compiler have C++11 support, e.g. use VS 2013 or GCC 4.7.

  • Do you have Python 2.7? Run python --version.

  • Do you have an old version of node-gyp installed? Try updating it. Also try deleting $HOME/.node-gyp or equivalent.

  • Try running npm cache clean -f and deleting the node_modules/oracledb directory.

If require('oracledb') fails, for example with DPI-1047: Oracle Client library cannot be loaded:

  • Does your Node.js architecture (32-bit or 64-bit) match the Oracle client library architecture? Run node -p 'process.arch' and compare with, for example, dumpbin /headers oci.dll (on Windows), file libclntsh.dylib (macOS) or file libclntsh.so.* (Linux).

  • On Windows, do you have the correct VS Redistributable? Review the Windows install instructions.

  • On Windows, is your PATH set correctly to include the Oracle client libraries?

  • Do you need system privileges to set, or preserve, variables like PATH, e.g. an elevated command prompt on Windows, or sudo -E on Linux?

  • On Windows try a dependency walker. Check your node_modules/oraclebd/build/Release/oracledb.node binary can locate the Oracle client libraries and VS Redistributable.

  • Do you have multiple copies of Oracle libraries installed? Is the expected version first in PATH (on Windows) or LD_LIBRARY_PATH (on Linux)?

  • On macOS, did you install Oracle Instant Client in ~/lib or /usr/local/lib?

  • Do you have multiple copies of Node.js installed? Did the correct npm and node-gyp get invoked?
