Node-oracledb 6.0 with a 'Thin' mode has been released!

[sharadraju]

Hello All, the node-oracledb 6.0.0 release is out!

This version of node-oracledb is now a ‘Thin’ mode driver by default. The Thin mode is implemented purely in JavaScript and connects directly to Oracle Database. It removes the need to download Oracle client libraries to connect to Oracle Database.

You can also enable a ‘Thick’ mode that will allow the optional use of Oracle client libraries with some additional functionality. This mode will include all the features of the previous node-oracledb release, along with the other enhancements.

Check out our release blog for all the deets:

@Fariededuction Oracle Database 10g can be used with node-oracledb 6.0 Thick mode and the right Oracle Client Libraries. Thin mode does not support Oracle Database 10g.
