error connecting/querying mysql node.js and postreSQL

Question

the mysql/node.js appears to connect then i "think" there may be a problem with the query event logic. Here's the code and error. I also have a separate/similar problem with postreSQL. I install npmed both in the same directory.

connection::connected

                   ^

this is my server/mysql logic

var mysql = require('mysql');

var connectionConfig = {
    host: 'localhost',
    user: 'root',
    password: '',
    database: 'sakila'
};

var connection = mysql.createConnection( connectionConfig);

connection.connect(function(err) {
    console.log('connection::connected');
});

connection.query('SELECT * FROM actor', function(err, rows, fields) {
    if (err) throw err;

    rows.forEach(function(row) {
        console.log(row.first_name, row.last_name);
    });
});

var actor = { first_name: 'Wil', last_name: 'Wheaton' };
connection.query('INSERT INTO actor SET ?', actor, function(err, results) {
    if (err) throw err;

    console.log(results);
});

connection.end(function(err) {
    console.log('connection::end');
});

heres postre logic

var pg = require('pg');

var connectionString = 'postgres://ryan@localhost/postgres';

var client = new pg.Client(connectionString);

client.connect(function(err) {
    if (err) throw err;

    client.query('SELECT NOW() AS "THE TIME"', function( err, result ) {
        if (err) throw err;

        console.log(result.rows[0]);

        client.end();
    });
});

heres error

ryan@\Ryan:~/Desktop/node/datastores$ node postreSQL

/home/ryan/Desktop/node/datastores/postreSQL.js:8

                   ^

Answer 1

Your password seems to be empty in both connections.

You need to get the connection details for the database from your devOps / SysAdmin / whoever created it. Ask for the hostname, port, user and password, and schema name; then put those in your init object:

// MySQL:
var connectionConfig = {
    host: "",     // Hostname + ":" + port (no need for :port if 3360)
    user: "",     // User
    password: "", // Password
    database: ""  // Schema 
};

// PostgreSQL:
var connectionString = 'postgres://user:password@hostname:port';
