You won't find much on HN because historically MsSQL was windows-server only and that's a tiny fraction of small / start-up services using it. It's really common for windows-only shops. Almost any language can talk to it. And definitely any that supports odbc.
- taway1982345 3y agoso it's used mostly by windows-only shops (though i have no idea what they are typically building) i guess it follows that Node/Ts is not popular with them?
- viraptor 3y agoNot that often. They're more likely to be c#/java/native places. But there's no barrier really: https://www.npmjs.com/package/mssql https://www.npmjs.com/package/mssql
- taway1982345 3y agothanks for the idea of looking an npmjs stats https://npmtrends.com/mssql-vs-mysql-vs-mysql2-vs-pg https://npmtrends.com/mssql-vs-mysql-vs-mysql2-vs-pg I was kind of expecting pg usage to be higher compared to mssql in the node world but i did not expect mssql and mysql to be so relatively close.
