Issue with persistent login credentials

node-red-contrib-mssql-plus

A Node-RED node to execute queries, stored procedures and bulk inserts in Microsoft SQL Server and Azure Databases SQL2000 ~ SQL2022.

Importantly, this package comes with pre-built linux drivers for communicating with the Azure & MS SQL services (using TDS protocol), removing the need to set-up environment level MSSQL (or similar) drivers.

Screen shot

Features include...

Connect to multiple SQL Servers and Azure databases from SQL2000 ~ 2022
Perform multiple queries in one go & get back multiple recordsets (depends on the queries sent)
Supports Stored Procedure execute
Supports Bulk Insert
Built in examples (node-red hamburger menu → import → examples → node-red-contrib-mssql-plus)
- TVP - A demo of calling a stored procedure and passing in a table valued parameters
- BULK - A demo of inserting a large amount of data in bulk mode
Use env vars in the config node for all fields (including credentials). e.g...
- Server {{{SQL_IP}}}
- Password {{{SQL_PW}}}
Use mustache in your SQL queries including msg, flow and global context. e.g...
- SELECT TOP {{{payload.maxRows}}} * FROM [MyTable] WHERE Name = '{{{flow.name}}}' AND quantity <= {{{global.maxQty}}}
- View the final query (mustache rendered into values) in msg.query to understanding what happened to your {{{mustache}}} parameters
Enter parameters in the UI or send parameters in via msg, flow or global variables for use in your SQL queries e.g...
- SELECT * FROM [MyTable] WHERE Name = @name AND quantity <= @maxQty
- View the final parameters (rendered with final values) in msg.queryParams that were used in the query to aid debugging
- View output parameters values in msg.queryParams after the query has executed
Choose between throwing an error to the catch node or outputting an error property in msg.error
Additional properties are in the msg object (use a debug node with "complete msg object" set to see whats available)

Install

Easiest

Use the Manage Palette > Install option from the menu inside node-red

Harder

Alternatively in your Node-RED user directory, typically ~/.node-red, run

npm install node-red-contrib-mssql-plus

Usage

Please refer to the built in help in the info panel in node red.

Sample flow

Demonstrating mustache rendering, input parameters, mutliple queries, print info...

Payload: {"count": 5, "age": 35}
Parameters
- name, varchar(20), stephen
- age, int, msg.payload.age
Query:

      PRINT @name
      SELECT TOP {{{payload.count}}} * 
      FROM testdb.dbo.[MyTable] WHERE Name = @name
      SELECT TOP {{{payload.count}}} * 
      FROM testdb.dbo.[MyTable] WHERE Age = @age
      PRINT 'complete'

After Rendering Mustache:

      PRINT @name
      SELECT TOP 5 * 
      FROM testdb.dbo.[MyTable] WHERE Name = @name
      SELECT TOP 5 * 
      FROM testdb.dbo.[MyTable] WHERE Age = @age
      PRINT 'complete'
