Published official Node.JS driver for Oracle database

At the OpenWorld 2014 conference, Oracle announced that it is working on its own Node.JS driver for its database. Last week, its source code was opened under the Apache 2.0 license.

The driver includes not only standard tools for executing SQL queries and PL / SQL code, but also tools for transparent work with JavaScript objects and arrays, advanced tools for working with transactions, and Oracle-built scaling tools. For example, you can quickly interrupt an unsuccessful transaction to an event from the server that it is impossible to finish the work correctly, allowing the Node.js application to quickly switch to another database without losing user data.

At the moment, support for Runitme Load Balancing and Fast Application Notification is also implemented. Preview-release version works in Linux and Mac OS X, support for Windows-systems is planned in the following versions.
