Question

Do we have support to ORM using NodeJS for Azure Database for Postgresql - felxible server?

Answer 1

Hi Gumudavelli, Dheeraj /IN •,

We have got the below reply from the internal team:

ORMs are external libraries built and supported by their own creators and communities. 

They usually are based on lower-level connectors and client drivers that are compatible with each database’s wire protocol, like libpq which is the C application programmer's interface to PostgreSQL

As an example, a very popular NodeJS ORM like Sequelize is using pg package to connect to PostgreSQL instances.

We are not shipping any official client driver for PostgreSQL, and don’t “support” or “endorse” any specific one, support for those libraries is provided by respected OSS communities.

So, in essence, we welcome customers to use ORMs like Sequelize in NodeJS to connect to Flexible Server, but we will support it as an external application talking to our service.

Thanks
