Node-ADT

New in v1.1.4: Support for Date, DateTime and NChar field types

Node ADT is a small fast library for reading Advantage Database Server database files (.ADT). It is a quick node port from the awesome rubygem by Chase Gray.

Installation

npm install node_adt

Basic Usage

    var Adt = require('node_adt');
    var adt = new Adt();

    adt.open('table.adt', 'ISO-8859-1', function(err, table) {

      console.log(table.header.recordCount);
      console.log(table.columns);

      table.eachRecord(function(err, record) {
        console.log(record.Name);
        console.log(record.Email);
      });

      table.findRecord(0, function(err, record) {
        console.log(record.Name);
      });

      table.close(); // Optional
    });

Changes in v1.0: Please note: forEach has been renamed to eachRecord

Supported ADT field types

ADT Field JavaScript
Character String
CiCharater String
NChar String
Logical Boolean
Double Number
Integer Number
ShortInteger Number
Date Date
Timestamp Date

Not implemented

Memo, Numeric, Image, Binary, Time, Raw, Money, ModTime, RowVersion

Limitations and known bugs

  • The rubygem has many more features than this node package, such as CSV export and an ActiveRecord-like find method.
  • ADT is read-only
  • External index files are not used

Acknowledgements

Thank you, Chase Gray, for all the hard work of figuring out how the ADT format works.

Thank you, @yortus for contributing bug fixes and support for Date, Timestamp and NChar fields types. 🎉
