Moving data from nodejs console to SQL Server - node.js

Question

I am very new to node.js. Using the following code I am able to retrive data from the wesbite intrino into console.
var https = require("https");
var username = "********";
var password = "********";
var auth = "Basic " + new Buffer(username + ':' +
password).toString('base64');
var request = https.request({
method: "GET",
host: "api.intrinio.com",
path: "/companies?ticker=AAPL",
headers: {
"Authorization": auth
}
}, function (response) {
var json = "";
response.on('data', function (chunk) {
json += chunk;
});
response.on('end', function () {
var company = JSON.parse(json);
console.log(company);
});
});
request.end();
And the result is as follows:-
My question is: how do I transfer this data into SQL Server? I tried watching a few tutorials and videos. But I was not able to exactly understand how it works.
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

This is a very broad question. Connecting MS-SQL server from node usually uses tedious package. You can directly use this package to insert data as described in https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/connect/node-js/step-3-proof-of-concept-connecting-to-sql-using-node-js
Following is a snippet from the above link.
var Connection = require('tedious').Connection;
var config = {
userName: 'yourusername',
password: 'yourpassword',
server: 'yourserver.database.windows.net',
// If you are on Azure SQL Database, you need these next options.
options: {encrypt: true, database: 'AdventureWorks'}
};
var connection = new Connection(config);
connection.on('connect', function(err) {
// If no error, then good to proceed.
console.log("Connected");
executeStatement1();
});
var Request = require('tedious').Request
var TYPES = require('tedious').TYPES;
function executeStatement1() {
request = new Request("INSERT SalesLT.Product (Name, ProductNumber, StandardCost, ListPrice, SellStartDate) OUTPUT INSERTED.ProductID VALUES (#Name, #Number, #Cost, #Price, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP);", function(err) {
if (err) {
console.log(err);}
});
request.addParameter('Name', TYPES.NVarChar,'SQL Server Express 2014');
request.addParameter('Number', TYPES.NVarChar , 'SQLEXPRESS2014');
request.addParameter('Cost', TYPES.Int, 11);
request.addParameter('Price', TYPES.Int,11);
request.on('row', function(columns) {
columns.forEach(function(column) {
if (column.value === null) {
console.log('NULL');
} else {
console.log("Product id of inserted item is " + column.value);
}
});
});
connection.execSql(request);
}
But using an ORM is the best practice. sequelize is one of the best in the node community.
$ npm install --save sequelize
$ npm install --save tedious // MSSQL
const Sequelize = require('sequelize');
const sequelize = new Sequelize('database', 'username', 'password', {
host: 'localhost',
dialect: 'mssql'
});
You must go through either of these modules documentation to understand better.
