   Prevents application shutdown.

3. What error(s) or behavior you are seeing?
   After throwing "NJS-138: connections to this database server version are not supported by node-oracledb in Thin mode" error the library socket keeps open and prevents application to close.

You need to use Thick mode. not the thin one, download instant client for arm64, then use for init:

oracledb.initOracleClient({
libDir: "/opt/oracle/instantclient_19_8"
});

then connect normally.

Yes @erayhanoglu , Thin mode is supported from Oracle DB 12.1 onwards.

Thanks for pointing out the issue with socket not getting closed when "NJS-138" is thrown. we will fix the issue.
