Node v16 support #44

Open miljosh68 opened 2 years ago

miljosh68 commented 2 years ago

Would like to know if there are any plans to support Node v16 (LTS)? Node v16 Active LTS started a couple of months ago and the End-Of-Life date is 2024-04-30. I suppose it would be good to support this version.

Node JS release schedule is at https://nodejs.org/en/about/releases/

redevill commented 2 years ago

To expand on miljosh68 request: Of the 9 Versions you have listed in the compatibility chart, only 3 exist with supported versions of Node (V12). Shortly (in 2 months) there will be NO supported versions. V12 EOF is in a couple of months.

node v12 is now EOL.

Hello all,

We have now released the updated/replacement module (works with SQL Anywhere and IQ) to npmjs.com:

https://www.npmjs.com/package/@sap/iq-client

I should mention that this one uses N-API so it will stay compatible with newer node releases.

Hi Dan, thanks for the update. Is there also a public repository for the replacement module?

DanCummins-SAP commented 1 year ago

Hello,

Since this is a new/replacement module, we were not planning to publish it to github. The driver is basically all inside the binary files.

Kind regards, Dan

Sorry to post this there, but as the iq-client has no public repository I did not find a better location.

Is there any intention to support SQLAnywhere 16 in the iq-client? It does not seem to be supported right now.

Cheers!

Hello, It is not intended to support SQL Anywhere 16. Kind regards, Dan

@DanCummins-SAP , the information about the IQ client is burried in the comments of this ticket. So far, I am having success in using it. Thank you!

Some questions/requests:

Could you kindly update the main README file of this repository so that the direction of this project would be evident by adding the link to IQ client in the npm registry?
Is this a drop-in, fully api-compatible replacement with this project node-sqlanywhere?
"No plans to publish it on Github", ever? After all, the code is available with comments in the node_modules, and I think the community did help you and each other maintaining the project...

Thank you for your time.
