+# JavaScript PowerSync + MSSQL Self Hosted Demo
+
+This demo contains a NodeJS + MSSQL backend and React frontend which are linked to a self hosted PowerSync instance.
+
+Backend code can be found [here](https://github.com/powersync-ja/powersync-nodejs-backend-todolist-demo)
+
+## Running
+
+The `.env` file contains default configuration for the services. Reference this to connect to any services locally.
+
+This demo can be started by running the following in this demo directory
+
+```bash
+docker compose up
+```
+
+or in the root directory run
+
+```bash
+docker compose -f demos/nodejs-mssql/docker-compose.yaml up
+```
+
+The frontend can be accessed at `http://localhost:3036` in a browser.
+
+## Configuration
+
+See [MSSQL Configuration](../../services/mssql/mssql.yaml) for the SQL server configuration 
+The SQL server is initialized with the [init](../../services/mssql/init.sql) script. 
+
+The initialization script (`init.sql`) performs the following setup steps:
+
+1. **Database Creation**: Creates the application database
+2. **CDC Setup**: Enables Change Data Capture at the database level
+3. **User Creation**: Creates a SQL Server login and database user with appropriate permissions
+4. **Create PowerSync Checkpoints table**: Creates the required `_powersync_checkpoints` table.
+5. **Self Host Demo Tables**: Creates the demo tables (`lists` and `todos`)
+6. **Enable Table CDC**: Enables CDC tracking on the demo tables
+7. **Permissions**: Grants `db_datareader` and `cdc_reader` roles to the application user
+8. **Sample Data**: Inserts initial test data into the `lists` table
+
+All operations are idempotent, so they can safely be re-run without errors.
+
