That node is over 7 years old, uses old libraries (with CVE issues) and has a number of known bugs and last, but not least, does not have the additional features that make mssql-plus the best SQL node in the catalog.

I suggest you remove that and add the newer/better one and use parameters.

You have 2 choices to acheive that ^

1. remove all traces of mssql from your flows
2. remove node-red-contrib-mssql via palette manager
3. install node-red-contrib-mssql-plus via palette manager
4. restart node-red
5. add the SQL nodes back into your flows

OR

1. stop node-red
2. run `npm remove node-red-contrib-mssql` (in a terminal, in ~/.node-red)
3. run `npm install node-red-contrib-mssql-plus` (in a terminal, in ~/.node-red)
4. start node-red

The 2nd version is my recommendation but not everyone is comfortable with command line.
