This `database-utils` package is an **abandoned and unmaintained** Node.js utility library, last updated over a decade ago with version `1.4.1`. It aimed to provide fundamental tools for interacting with databases, including a `SqlBuilder` for constructing SQL queries programmatically and an `ORM` (Object Relational Mapper) for higher-level database interactions. However, its development ceased long ago, and the project's GitHub repository explicitly carries a deprecation notice, advising against its use for anything other than historical research. It does not follow modern best practices, lacks essential features (as indicated by its extensive `TODO` list), and likely has significant compatibility issues with contemporary Node.js versions and database systems. Users seeking database utilities, SQL builders, or ORMs should explore actively maintained alternatives in the Node.js ecosystem, such as `knex`, `sequelize`, `typeorm`, or `prisma`.
npm install database-utilsVerified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.
Demonstrates basic SQL query construction using the `SqlDriver` class and how to retrieve both raw SQL and parameterized queries. It highlights the library's role as a SQL builder rather than a full database connector. The commented-out ORM section illustrates potential (but speculative) usage.
Migrate to an actively maintained SQL builder or ORM library (e.g., Knex.js, Sequelize, TypeORM, Prisma) to ensure security, stability, and compatibility with modern Node.js and database systems.
Thoroughly review the source code for implemented features or assume that any feature not explicitly demonstrated in the limited examples is likely unfinished or buggy. Prefer alternative, well-documented libraries.
Avoid using this library in new projects. If encountering it in legacy code, extreme caution and extensive testing are required for any upgrades or changes to the Node.js environment or database systems. Migration is strongly recommended.
Always use a database driver's native parameterized query features with prepared statements. If forced to use this library, meticulously sanitize all user inputs and never directly concatenate untrusted data into SQL strings. However, the safest fix is to switch to a modern, actively maintained library designed with security in mind.
Use CommonJS `require` syntax: `const { SqlDriver } = require('database-utils');`This warning is inherent to using an abandoned package. The only true fix is to replace `database-utils` with an actively maintained library. You might be able to suppress `DeprecationWarning` in Node.js, but this is highly discouraged as it hides critical information.
The feature is missing. You cannot use it with this library. You would need to manually write the raw SQL query or, preferably, migrate to a more robust SQL builder or ORM that supports these operators.
