Running the Server

Local Development

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Run in development mode
npm run dev

# Build
npm run build

# Run the built server
npm start

Using Docker

npm test

# Run tests with coverage
npm run test:coverage

Security

The server includes safeguards against dangerous SQL operations:

• Blocks potentially harmful commands like DROP, TRUNCATE, ALTER, CREATE, EXEC, etc.
• Validates all input parameters and database names
• Sets reasonable limits on query length and timeout
• Uses connection pooling for better performance and security
