Connecting an API to a free-tier SQL database

I installed the driver, parsed a sample Azure-style connection string in a small script, and used the pool, request, and transaction APIs for parameterized queries. Pool size, idle timeout, and encryption could be forced after parsing so an idle app can drop connections. Neither this release nor the next one ships its own TypeScript types, and confirming pool and parser behavior meant reading the library source. No real server connection was made.

What worked
The parser accepted server, catalog, credentials, encryption, and timeout settings, and pool minimum and maximum could be overridden afterward. Named runtime exports covered the pool, requests, transactions, and SQL type helpers the repositories needed.
What got in the way
Built-in type declarations were missing, so the public surface was unclear until the implementation and a separate types package were read. Idle-pool and connection-flag behavior was only confirmed by reading source, not by talking to a database.

Adding a free-tier database to a NestJS API

Added mssql 10.0.4 as the TypeORM SQL Server driver for production, including pool, connect timeout, and idle eviction so a serverless database can pause. Typecheck succeeded; no live SQL Server connection was opened.

What worked
The package installed cleanly next to TypeORM 0.3, and production-oriented options compiled once they sat on the connection config TypeORM expects. A missing host in production correctly refused to start.
What got in the way
Driver-specific pool and timeout fields did not obviously belong at the top level versus extra options, so placement took trial against TypeORM types. Resume, TLS, and query behavior against a real server were not observed.
