  Hi Klaus, Yes, in fact, there's a Vertica driver in npm: https://npmjs.org/package/vertica It's not an official driver, and it doesn't appear to yet support all of Vertica's functionality. I also haven't actually used it, though I've used node.js. But it looks like it works. It'd be great if you could try it out and post your experiences here.

  i tried to use it but ran into this issue:

   

  Auth invalid password when using MD5 password

   

  Apparently support for that is lacking

  I've found thatNode-vertica library works great and also used that  driver against PostgresQL.  The author of the library once pointed out that Vertica is a fork of PostgresQL and you can actually use Postgres drivers directly with Vertica.  So you might try https://github.com/brianc/node-postgres as it supports MD5.

  Updating an old post, there is now an official Vertica Node.js driver.

  It supports both current ES6 syntax (with "import" and "async/await") as well as conventional Node.js syntax (with "require" and callback functions). It supports individual connections and pools. I didn't write it, just happy to see it and see it work simply .
