Type-safe Data Access in Go using Prisma and sqlc
Now, why not use an ORM? I've seen performance issues too many times with ORMs. I prefer writing my own SQL to avoid surprises. After all, I know the database schema and writing code for a specific purpose very often leads to better performance than generic code. ORMs have to support all kinds of database schemas. I only have to support mine. Having successfully used Knex.js in NodeJS (a popular query builder) in the past, I know writing SQL queries myself is not hard and provides very good performance.

Can I create another WordPress that satisfies humanity?
Given the dynamic nature of the schema, we employ Knex, a query builder, for database access.

Credentials Leak with Knex
This article will be focused on a security issue that I found in Knex and how to mitigate it, but I'll also talk briefly about the social aspects of this problem.

Why SQL is right for Infrastructure Management
SQL is an old, irregular language to work with, but it is better known than HCL and SQL already has it's own Pulumi/CDK in the form of every ORM with introspection (like Javascript's Prisma, Python's Django, Go's XO etc) and QueryBuilder (LINQ, Knex, etc) in whatever programming language you prefer. You probably already know it.

Kysely: TypeScript SQL Query Builder
How does HN receive SQL builders in general? I feel like most of us agree ORMs are typically a bad idea. I feel like that almost instantly leaves the need for "something" to take its place. In my experience, it's typically been a query builder like this.
I've also tried:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/sql-template-strings ("out of date" since like 2016? https://www.npmjs.com/package/sql-template-tag might be better)
Are query builders an anti pattern? People who are doing serious/logic heavy stuff with SQL, how do you avoid a query builder (if at all?)

Promises, Thenables, & Lazy-evaluation: What, Why, How
Of course, this is a trivial example that you probably won’t find in production code, but there are many projects that use lazy-evaluated Promise-like objects. Probably the most common example is with database ORMs and query builders like Knex.js or Prisma.

MagLit - Free and Open Source Link Shortener with Privacy, Encryption, Password Protection and more!
why not just use a mariadb or postgres docker image? heck, even sqlite should be fine, given the simplicity of your needs. i work with nodejs myself, i'd highly recommend knexjs for this- it's super flexible!

NodeJS Security Best Practices
If you use Sequalize, TypeORM or for MongoDB, we have Mongoose these types of ORM tools, then you are safe by default because these help us against the SQL query injection attacks by default.

[DDD] Tactical Design Patterns Part 3: Presentation/Infrastructure Layer
We decided to use MySQL for a database. and TypeOrm for ORM. The ER diagram is provided below. For example, the task_assignments table holds information about user assignments to tasks. While in DDD, there is a pattern to design denormalized tables that reflect the structure of domain objects more directly, but this time, a more conventional table design was chosen. TypeOrm models:

SQLSync – Stop Building Databases
How does this compare to using directly an ORM lib that supports browser like TypeORM [0] via SQL.js [1]?

Deno Cron
* Patch a third-party library that was setting an HTTP header to `null`. NodeJS handles this case just fine, but Deno throws an error [2].
After all of that work, I finally was able to use Deno in my project. It was really cool! Unfortunately, both VS Code and IntelliJ with Deno are essentially unusable [3]. Or, at least, unacceptably slow compared to what I had with NodeJS.

Authentication part 3 using NestJS and Postgres database neon.tech
We are going to start using TypeORM as an ORM to help us interact with Postgres, but we also have an example of using Prisma in the future and everything that we have to adapt to switch the ORMs if necessary. At the end we are implementing neon.tech as a production database, right? 😉

From Good to Great: Scaling Applications with TypeORM Optimization
TypeORM is a popular Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) library for Node.js. It provides a high-level abstraction over relational databases, making it easy to perform CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations.

Top 6 ORMs for Modern Node.js App Development
TypeORM places its focus on TypeScript and JavaScript (ES7+) development. It offers compatibility with various database systems, including MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, and MongoDB. What sets TypeORM apart is its robust integration with TypeScript. It provides a user-friendly experience with a convenient decorator-based syntax for defining entities and relationships. Additionally, TypeORM supports the repository pattern and enables eager loading, enhancing its versatility for developers.

Deep Dive into Google Cloud SQL Connector for Node.js
ᴬ typeorm officially supports mssql@v9, but the support for the custom stream builder was added in mssql@v10. Since mssql is a peer dependency of typeorm, you can force override it and use the Cloud SQL Connector with typeorm. There is an open PR to add support for mssql@v10 in typeorm.

Leverage the power of PostgreSQL for validating data
By the way, what is ORM (and TypeORM)? The scope of this post will be increased if I introduce those. I recommend checking out What is an ORM by Ihechikara Vincent Abba and TypeORM’s official documentation.
What are some alternatives?
