n8n-nodes-sybase

Sybase integration for n8n. This community node lets you connect n8n to a Sybase database and run SQL queries inside workflows.

If you are searching for n8n Sybase connector, n8n Sybase node, Sybase SQL in n8n, or SAP SQL Anywhere / Sybase ASE automation, this package is built for that use case.

npm package: @mayki-kicas/n8n-nodes-sybase

What This Node Does

• Connects n8n to a Sybase database with credentials
• Executes SQL queries from a workflow node
• Returns rows as n8n JSON items
• Supports timeout control per node execution
• Supports debug logs for troubleshooting connection/query issues

Features

• Credential: Sybase API
• Node: Sybase
• Operation: Execute Query
• Editable timeout in the node (default: 20000 ms)
• Optional debug mode with detailed execution logs
• Compatible with self-hosted n8n

Requirements

• Node.js >=22.16 (recommended for current n8n versions)
• Java runtime on the machine running n8n (required by the sybase npm dependency)
• Network access from n8n to your Sybase host and port

Installation

npm install

Local Development

npm run dev

This starts n8n in development mode with hot reload for your custom node.

Default URL:

• http://localhost:5678

Build and Lint

npm run lint
npm run build

How to Use in n8n

1. Add the Sybase node to your workflow.
2. Create credentials Sybase API with:

• Host
• Port
• Database
• Username
• Password

3. Select operation Execute Query.
4. Write your SQL in Query.
5. Optionally set:

• Timeout In Ms
• Debug Mode

Example query:

SELECT TOP 10 id, created_at
FROM my_table
ORDER BY created_at DESC;

Troubleshooting

If execution appears stuck:

• Increase Timeout In Ms (for example 20000 to 60000)
• Enable Debug Mode
• Check n8n server logs for lines prefixed with [n8n-sybase]
• Validate DB connectivity (host, port, firewall, credentials)

If n8n does not start in dev mode:

• Ensure Node.js version satisfies n8n requirements (>=22.16)

FAQ

Is this node compatible with n8n Cloud?

No. This package uses an external runtime dependency (sybase) and is designed for self-hosted n8n.

Which Sybase products can I use?

It is intended for Sybase-compatible servers where the underlying npm driver works (for example Sybase ASE / SQL Anywhere environments).

Can I use this in production?

Yes, for self-hosted n8n. Validate timeouts, network reliability, and query performance in your environment before rollout.
