Replace function in TEXT or NTEXT fields SQL Server We often use replace function in SQL server databases to find and replace a specific string. The SQL statement is straightforward and there is no any issue when we search and replace a string on a column with a datatype, not either TEXT or NTEXT. The general search and replace SQL statement is UPDATE tbl_name SET column_name = REPLACE(column_name, 'old_string', 'new_string') WHERE column_name like '%old_string%' The problem occurs when you try to search and replace a string on a column with datatype TEXT or NTEXT and the error message: Argument data type text is invalid for argument 1 of replace function. and SQL server do not have any recommendation on how to resolve, probably we know REPLACE function only work on varchar or nvarchar datatype The simplest way is converted TEXT or NTEXT data to NVARCHAR(MAX) and then use Replace function. Using below query you can replace string in TEXT or NTEXT data type column. UPDATE tbl_name SET column_name = CAST(REPLACE(CAST(column_name as nvarchar(MAX)),'old_string','new_string') AS NText) WHERE column_name LIKE '%old_string% This way you can replace strings in TEXT or NTEXT column.

Node.js cannot connect to MS SQL Server

AnotherOps

I am trying to connect my Node.js project with MS SQL Server. I have tried all possible scenerios but the error (ConnectionError: Failed to connect to DESKTOP-EQRKGUK:1433 - 9908:error:1425F102:SSL routines:ssl_choose_client_version:unsupported protocol:c:wsdepsopensslopensslsslstatemstatem_lib.c:1994) still persists. Below is what I had done

1- I got my connection string from a query which was : Database Connection Failed! Bad Config:  ConnectionError: Failed to connect to DESKTOP-EQRKGUK:1433 
2. My database only has windows authentication ( so I set trustedConnection: true)
3. I tried server: 'DESKTOP-EQRKGUK' as well as server: 'localhost'
4. I am using SQL Server 2008

Below is my connection setting

const config = { 
database: 'MY_WAREHOUSE',
server: 'DESKTOP-EQRKGUK',
driver: 'msnodesqlv8',
options: {
    trustedConnection: true
},

Can anyone please guide me what am I doing wrong?
