node-red-contrib-intersystems-iris

Node-RED node for InterSystems IRIS

Install

Either use the Node-RED Menu - Manage Palette - Install, or run the following command in your Node-RED user directory - typically ~/.node-red

npm i node-red-contrib-intersystems-iris

Usage

Allows basic access to a InterSystems IRIS database.

This node uses the sql operation against the configured database.

By its very nature it allows SQL injection… so be careful out there…

The msg.topic must hold the query for the database, and the result is returned in msg.payload.

Typically the returned payload will be an array of the result rows.

It does not support paramaterized queries, yet.

msg.topic="INSERT INTO \"users\" (\"userid\", \"username\") VALUES ('36', 'some-user')"
return msg;

msg.topic="SELECT \"userid\", \"username\" FROM \"users\""
return msg;

Production flow

And dynamically updated Dashboard, which is avialable by link http://localhost:1880/ui/

Some complex flow
