I have oracle 11g and I am running Windows 7. I have setup node.js and it's working perfectly fine with MongoDB and other stuff. I have a couple of tools to build for my team, and I wanted to use this opportunity to learn Node.js. But the problem is that the database is oracle and I am so tired of trying to make it work, so tired that I created a stackoverflow account. I did read many of the questions posted without finding an answer how to set this up properly on Windows.

Have you tried node packages that allow you to connect to Oracle DB. Here are some :

  1. oracle npm page and Github
  2. db-oracle npm page and Github

To install do this

npm install oracle //or
npm install db-oracle

Currently, it does not work with windows without some additional workarounds. See github.com/nearinfinity/node-oracle/issues/2

db-oracle does not work on windows due to a dependency on the unix "pthread.h" library.

The oracle library is now reported to work on Windows, but requires having a suitable C++ compiler installed (e.g., VisualStudio).

There is a new Oracle provided node module that just got released. Check it out: https://github.com/oracle/node-oracledb/

Here is Oracle's announcement: https://blogs.oracle.com/opal/entry/introducing_node_oracledb_a_node

In the announcement, they claim to be making it Windows compatible soon.
