I'm writing a small program on Windows platform using Node.JS which accesses Oracle database for basic insert/update operations. This program will then be deployed to a few computers with different version of Windows.
At the start I thought it would be quite straightforward by installing and using node-oracledb. However after reading the Installation Guide and a few try, I found it's a bit clunky to install, as it requires Microsoft Windows SDK or Visual Studio which are huge, also there were lots of issues related to npm-gyp and Visual Studio (e.g. this and this), Oracle Instant Client and Visual Studio reported.
Repeating such installation process on target computers could be very time-consuming and error-prone.
Does anyone know if there is any light-weight Oracle driver for Node.JS that does not require Visual Studio? Thanks in advance.
