node-oracledb is Oracle's official Node.js driver for connecting JavaScript and TypeScript applications to Oracle Database. It runs in a pure JavaScript 'Thin' mode by default, with an optional 'Thick' mode using Oracle Client libraries for advanced features.

Use cases

• connect a Node.js app to Oracle Database
• execute SQL and PL/SQL from JavaScript
• bulk load data into Oracle tables
• use Oracle AQ message queueing from Node.js
• build a REST API backed by Oracle Database
• query Oracle Database from a TypeScript service
• stream large query results in Node.js

When to choose

• your application needs to talk to Oracle Database from Node.js or TypeScript
• you need advanced Oracle features like PL/SQL, batch execution, or database notifications
• you want an officially maintained, well-documented driver with a comprehensive test suite

When to avoid

• you use a database other than Oracle
• your stack is not Node.js-based
• you need an ORM rather than a low-level driver
