DB Write-Back Part 6: Epilogue

As I wrote in part 5, the db.js file is the place where you will make changes if you need to write back to a database other than SQL Server. I intend to write code for a few databases, but for now here are some potential starting points:

• Oracle: Get the Oracle supported Node driver here and mimic the example code in your db.js replacement.
• MySQL: https://www.npmjs.com/package/mysql
• Google: This one is going to take some research. https://cloud.google.com/nodejs/docs/reference/libraries
• AWS: Again, research.
