Failed to connect to *name_server* - getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND - node.js

Question

When connecting to the database with sequelize-typescript, an error occurs
Failed to connect to SERVER\SQL2016:1433 - getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND SERVER\SQL2016
Connection settings
import { Sequelize } from 'sequelize-typescript'
import { environment } from '../config'
import { normalize, join } from 'path'
export default new Sequelize({
database: environment.database.database,
dialect: "mssql",
username: environment.database.username,
// port: environment.database.port,
password: environment.database.password,
host: environment.database.host,
logging: !environment.production ? console.log : false,
models: [normalize(join(__dirname, "..", "models"))],
dialectOptions: {
options: {
enableArithAbort: true,
cryptoCredentialsDetails: {
minVersion: "TLSv1",
},
},
},
})
interface DatabaseConnection {
database: string
username: string
port: number
password: string
host: string
hostAsodu: string
databaseAsodu: string
}
export const environment: Environment = {
port: process.env.PORT ? Number(process.env.PORT) : 3030,
production: process.env.NODE_ENV === "production",
database: {
database: process.env.DB_DATABASE ?? String(),
username: process.env.DB_USERNAME ?? String(),
port: process.env.DB_PORT ? Number(process.env.DB_PORT) : 0,
password: process.env.DB_PASSWORD ?? String(),
host: process.env.DB_HOST ?? String(),
hostAsodu: process.env.DB_HOST_ASODU ?? String(),
databaseAsodu: process.env.DB_DATABASE_ASODU ?? String()
},
}
I tried connectit with and without a port, the error is the same. It just connects to SERVER, but does not want to connect to the named SERVER \ SQL2016. How can I fix this error? Found nothing on the docks

Answer 1

ENOTFOUND is an operating-system-level error from your OS's networking code. It means you asked it to look up a hostname and it came up with nothing. In the lingo, your name "could not be resolved." (www.stackoverflow.com is a hostname, for example. https://www.stackoverflow.com is a URL, which happens to contain a hostname.)
getaddrinfo() is OS method that asks the domain name service (DNS) to look up a hostname.
It looks to me like you tried to look up the hostname SERVER\SQL2016. That's not a hostname. You probably want something like sql2016.example.com instead. Ask the person who operates that SQL Server instance for the correct hosthame.
The SQL Server instance I use has a hostname something like devdatabase.dev.example.com.
Edit The SQL2016 part of your connection string is known as the server instance or DataSource. You need to specify it separately from the hostname. See this. Error connecting to SQL Server database with sequelize You also need to make sure your SQL Server software is configured to allow TCP connections.
Try this as you connect.
export default new Sequelize({
database: environment.database.database,
dialect: "mssql",
username: environment.database.username,
// port: environment.database.port,
password: environment.database.password,
host: environment.database.host, /* should be the hostname without \SQL2016 */
logging: !environment.production ? console.log : false,
models: [normalize(join(__dirname, "..", "models"))],
dialectOptions: {
instanceName: 'SQL2016',
options: {
enableArithAbort: true,
cryptoCredentialsDetails: {
minVersion: "TLSv1",
},
},
},
})
