drizzle-sybase

library1.1.0jsnpmunverified

Native Node.js driver for Sybase ASE databases, built as a Drizzle ORM integration using FreeTDS via N-API. Current version 1.1.0 (pre-release candidate) targets Node >=24 and requires drizzle-orm ^1.0.0-rc.2. Differentiates from other Sybase drivers by providing typed ORM interfaces with Drizzle's query builder and migration tools. Release cadence is irregular; development is active but pre-1.0.

Code

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

drizzle

✓ import { drizzle } from 'drizzle-sybase'

✗ const { drizzle } = require('drizzle-sybase')

ESM-only; CommonJS require will fail because the package is type:module.

SybaseClient

✓ import { SybaseClient } from 'drizzle-sybase'

Named export for creating the client instance. Not a default export.

DrizzleConfig

✓ import type { DrizzleConfig } from 'drizzle-sybase'

✗ import { DrizzleConfig } from 'drizzle-sybase'

DrizzleConfig is a TypeScript type, not a runtime value. Use 'import type' to avoid tree-shaking issues.

Connects to Sybase ASE via Drizzle ORM, runs a query, and logs the result.

import { drizzle } from 'drizzle-sybase'; import { SybaseClient } from 'drizzle-sybase'; const client = new SybaseClient({ host: process.env.SYBASE_HOST ?? 'localhost', port: Number(process.env.SYBASE_PORT ?? 5000), database: process.env.SYBASE_DB ?? 'mydb', user: process.env.SYBASE_USER ?? 'sa', password: process.env.SYBASE_PASSWORD ?? '', }); const db = drizzle(client); async function main() { const result = await db.execute('SELECT 1 AS value'); console.log(result.rows); } main().catch(console.error).finally(() => client.end());

Debug

Known issues

breakingNode.js >=24 is required. Older versions will fail with a syntax error or missing API.

fix

Upgrade Node.js to 24 or later.

affects: <24

breakingThe package uses ESM exclusively. CommonJS require() will throw ERR_REQUIRE_ESM.

fix

Use import syntax or switch to a dynamic import() call.

affects: >=1.0

deprecatedThe 'SybaseClient' constructor options object has partial type narrowing; some properties may be marked optional incorrectly. This will be fixed in a future release.

fix

Provide all essential fields (host, port, database, user, password) even if types say optional.

affects: <=1.1.0

gotchaFreeTDS must be installed on the system or prebuilt binaries must be available. Otherwise, installation will fail during native compilation.

fix

Install FreeTDS via system package manager (apt, brew) or use --build-from-source with @napi-rs/cli.

affects: >=0.1.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Error: Cannot find module 'drizzle-sybase'

Package not installed or incorrect import path (e.g., using require instead of import).

fix

Run 'npm install drizzle-sybase drizzle-orm' and ensure you use import syntax (e.g., import { drizzle } from 'drizzle-sybase').

TypeError: client.end is not a function

SybaseClient instance not correctly initialized or connection already closed.

fix

Call client.end() only after you have used the client. Ensure client is created with new SybaseClient(config). Consider using try-finally block.

Error: self-signed certificate in certificate chain

Sybase server uses a self-signed SSL certificate, and the client does not trust it by default.

fix

Set rejectUnauthorized: false in the client config (not recommended for production) or provide the correct CA certificate via ca option.
