Node.js and Oracle NoSQL Database

Oracle NoSQL Database is an interesting option to consider when you want a schemaless, fast, scale-able database which can provide relaxed (eventual) consistency. Oracle provides a Node.js driver for this database. In this blog I'll describe how to install Oracle NoSQL database and how to connect to it from a Node.js application.

The Node.js driver provided by Oracle is currently in preview version 3.3.7. It uses NoSQL client version 12.1.3.3.4 which does not work with 4.x versions of NoSQL database, so I downloaded Oracle NoSQL Database, Enterprise Edition 12cR1 (12.1.3.3.5) from here (the version number was closest to the version number of the client software).
