⁠Dockerfile⁠

The following components are included:

• Ubuntu 16.04 OS layer.
• Pre-configured Node.js runtime environment (nodejs + npm).
• tedious Node.js driver⁠ for SQL Server.
• A working Node.js to SQL Server code sample.
• SQL Server command-line utilities (sqlcmd and bcp).
• Command-line text editor tools (nano and vim).

⁠Usage

To run an interactive bash session in this container simply run:

docker run -it lbosqmsft/mssql-nodejs-tedious

The following optional environment variables can be provided to create the code sample:

• $DB_HOST: The IP address or hostname where the SQL Server instance is running.

• $DB_USERNAME: The database user in the SQL Server instance.

• $DB_PASSWORD: The database user's password in the SQL Server instance.

  Note: If you are running SQL Server in a Docker container as well, you can obtain the container's IP address using docker inspect <containerID>.

After passing the above environment variables Within the container, you can run the following commands:

• node connect.js: Execute the code sample to connect to SQL Server. The connect.js file will already have the database parameters.
• sqlcmd -S $DB_HOST -U $DB_USERNAME -P $DB_PASSWORD: This will run the command-line client for SQL Server where you can execute T-SQL statements against it.
