Connecting to Babelfish from Node.js, Python, and Java
· 7 min read
Babelfish speaks TDS, the SQL Server wire protocol. Any SQL Server driver connects to it on port 1433 without modification to the driver itself. The only required change from a typical SQL Server connection is disabling TLS on the TDS port: Babelfish 4.8.0 does not support TLS on TDS.
This post shows working connection code and confirms which features work, based on live tests against Babelfish 4.8.0 on PostgreSQL 16.11, running on FoundryDB staging.
