sqlfind-ping v0.1.3

SQLPING

sqlping is a very simple module to ping a url + port to see what SQL Server is there. The idea came from a Google Bard hallucination, where i needed to check for possible ports for a node app that will connect to SQL servers, that were not in the standard port. Bard gave me a code por a sqlping library that I could never find.

This is based on sql ping by sql security, that hasn't been updated in a decade. So I created a node version add also added more info about the Microsoft SQL Server, from the list in sqlserverbuilds to update it to 2022 and get some more info on patches.

Installation

Use the package npm

npm i sqlfind-ping

Usage

const {findServer} = require('sqlfind-ping');

#Expects IP and port
#you can pass an IP adress or localhost
let server = await findServer('localhost', 1433);

# returns an object like this
{
  serverName: 2019,
  serverVersion: 15,
  build: '15.0.2101',
  fileVersion: '2019.150.2101.7',
  description: 'Security update for SQL Server 2019 GDR: February 14, 2023',
  link: 'https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/5021125',
  releaseDate: '2023-02-14',
  updateInfo: 'RTM'
}

# Object will be empty if no SQL server on the ip/port combo
foobar.pluralize('goose')
