Azure functions: Exception: TypeError: connection.query is not a function - sql

Question

I have a simple Azure function trying to get all data from a SQL table. The connection is successful and I can connect to the database, but whenever I run the get request, I end up with an error
Exception: TypeError: connection.query is not a function
Stack: TypeError: connection.query is not a function
This is the line throwing the error
connection.query(query, (err, results, fields) => {
this is my index.js azure get function
const express = require('express')
const bodyParser = require('body-parser')
let connection = require('../configs/dbConfig')
const app = express()
app.use(bodyParser.json())
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: true }))
module.exports = async function (context, req, res) {
const query = 'SELECT * FROM entrys'
connection.query(query, (err, results, fields) => {
if (err) {
const response = { data: null, message: err.message, }
res.send(response)
}
const pokemons = [...results]
const response = {
data: pokemons,
message: 'All entrys successfully retrieved.',
}
res.send(response)
})
}
Am using tedious as the connection driver. my dbconfig
let Connection = require('tedious').Connection;
let pool = {
server: "localhost", // or "localhost"
authentication: {
type: "default",
options: {
userName: "sa",
password: "root",
}
},
options: {
database: "testing",
encrypt: false
}
};
var connection = new Connection(pool);
connection.on('connect',function(err){
if(err){
console.log('Connection Failed');
throw err;
}
else{
console.log('Connected');
}
});
module.exports = connection
what am I doing wrong, thank you in advance

You should use Request to query.
In the official documentation, I did not see the usage of connection.query. It is not recommended that you use tedious when you are not very familiar with it. I have a sample code here, I hope it helps you.
You can download my Sample Code which use mssql package.
var express = require('express');
var router = express.Router();
let connection = require('../configs/dbConfig')
var Request = require('tedious').Request;
/* GET users listing. */
router.get('/', function(req, res, next) {
request = new Request("select 42, 'hello world'", function(err, rowCount) {
if (err) {
console.log(err);
} else {
console.log(rowCount + ' rows');
}
});
request.on('row', function(columns) {
columns.forEach(function(column) {
console.log(column.value);
});
});
connection.execSql(request);
res.send('respond with a resource');
});
module.exports = router;
Test Result:
