thin mode support for node-oracledb

[liudonghua123]

I searched thin mode in issues, found #1497, however the original issue have closed. So I opened a new issue to track the thin mode support in node-oracledb.

I noticed that python's implementation has already finished, see https://github.com/oracle/python-oracledb#dependencies-and-interoperability. So maybe node's implementation could be soon.

This sounds very nice, will also be easier to support deno/bun or any other new libs if it ever comes. 👍

@cjbj Hi, is there any updates about this feature? I am all agog of expectation.

[cjbj]

@liudonghua123 nothing to share yet. There is a little bit of discussion on Slack about it.

@cjbj it looks like your link leads to the 6.0.0-dev readme, and not a slack thread? Was that intentional?

[cjbj]

@MasterOdin Partly intentional. The README has the link for joining Slack. I'll update the link to the project home page section with the same Slack info.

[cjbj]

See #1550 :)

@cjbj wow, good work! 😄
