Connect to Connect AI

Node.js

This page outlines the steps to connect Node.js to the Connect AI Virtual SQL Server API.

Prerequisites

Before you connect, you must first do the following:

Connect a data source to your Connect AI account. See Sources for more information.
Generate a Personal Access Token (PAT) on the Settings page. Copy this down, as it acts as your password during authentication.

Connect to Connect AI

In order to connect from Node.js to Connect AI via the SQL Server interface, you need the following information:

Server—tds.cdata.com
Port—14333
Database name—enter the Connection Name of the Connect AI data source you want to connect to (for example, Salesforce1).
Username—enter your Connect AI username. This is displayed in the top-right corner of the Connect AI interface. For example, test@cdata.com.
Password—enter the PAT you generated on the Settings page.

Use the following code to connect to your database with Node.js, and change the following:

Update user with your Connect AI username.
Update password with the PAT you generated in the prerequisites.
Update database with the name of the data source you created in the prerequisites.
Replace the query with your database query.

var sql = require('mssql')
var config = {
   server: 'tds.cdata.com',
   port: 14333,
   user: 'user@mydomain.com', //your Connect AI username
   password: 'CONNECT_USER_PAT', //your Connect AI PAT  
   options: {
      encrypt: true,
      database: 'SAPHANA1' //the name of your database connection
   }
}
 
sql.connect(config, err => {
   if(err){
      throw err ;
   }
   new sql.Request().query('SELECT * FROM Buckets', (err, result) => { //your query
      console.dir(result)
   })
 
});
 
sql.on('error', err => {
   console.log("SQL Error: " ,err);
})
