The NoSQL API for Node.JS provides a lightweight domain object model for JavaScript. You write code using common JavaScript objects, and use simple API calls to read and write those objects to the database, like this:

 var nosql = require("mysql-js");
 
 function onSession(err, session) {
   var data = new Tweet(username, message);
   session.persist(data);
 }

 nosql.openSession(onSession);

More sample code is available in the samples/ directory.

The API includes two backend adapters:

• The "ndb" adapter, which uses the native NDB API to provide high-performance native access to MySQL Cluster.

• The "mysql" adapter, which connects to any MySQL Server using the node-mysql driver, available from https://github.com/felixge/node-mysql/

Building the ndb backend requires an installed copy of MySQL Cluster 7.x including headers and shared library files. The MySQL architecture must match the node architecture: if node.js is 64-bit, then MySQL must also be 64-bit. If node is 32-bit, MySQL must be 32-bit.

The mysql backend requires version 2.0 of node-mysql, an all-JavaScript MySQL client.

1. Microsoft Visual Studio
2. MySQL Cluster
3. Python 2.6 or 2.7
4. Node.JS
5. node-gyp

The installation script is interactive. It will try to locate a suitable copy of MySQL, and it will prompt you to accept its choice or enter an alternative.

• To build the module in place, type: node configure.js

• After configuring, build a binary. The -d argument to node-gyp makes it a "debug" binary node-gyp configure build -d

• After testing the debug binary, on platforms other than Windows, it is possible to build an optimized (non-debug) binary. Non-debug builds are generally not possible on Windows, and usually result in link-time errors. node-gyp rebuild

Backend implementations

The MySQL server must have the database "test" created. The test infrastructure currently relies on a mysql command-line client for creating and dropping tables, so the "mysql" executable must be in your command path.

To configure the servers and ports used for testing, edit test/test_connection.js

To run the test suite using the native NDB adapter:

    cd test
    node driver 

To run the test suite using the MySQL adapter:

   cd test
   node driver --adapter=mysql/ndb
   node driver --adapter=mysql/innodb
