Stream is not a true node stream

var isReadable require('isstream').isReadable;

var client = new sql.Connection(this._config);
var query = '';
return client.connect()
  .then(function() {
    var request = new sql.Request(client);
    request.stream = true;

    var reqStream = request.query(query);

    assert(isReadable(reqStream), true, 'Request Stream should be a readable stream')
    return reqStream;
  });
