postgres_lsp VS pgtyped

Thank you for turning me on top Cornucopia, it looks awesome. I've used the very similar aiosql in Python, but I hadn't realized there was a Rust analog.

To tell the truth I've been waiting for postgres_lsp to mature before trying it out, but based on this example [1] I think it does support multiple queries.

Since it uses a parser extracted from Postgres, the nonstandard syntax would probably trip it up, but there's probably a way to fix that.

Cool. How does this compare to SafeQL, PgTyped, and Postgres language server ?

While code editors have great support for most programming languages, SQL support is underwhelming. We want to make Postgres as simple as Python. Our recently announced Postgres Language Server takes us a step in that direction - eventually it will provide first-class support for Postgres in your favorite code editor including Linting, Syntax Highlighting, Migrations Parsing, SQL Auto-complete, and Intellisense.

Postgres Language Server

There is an implementation of SQL that operates on a table shaped type, entirely at type level. For your amusement: https://github.com/codemix/ts-sql

There are a bunch of more practical takes that codegen types from your database and generate types for your queries, eg: https://github.com/adelsz/pgtyped

To me the second approach seems much more pragmatic because you don’t need to run a SQL parser in a fairly potato interpreter on every build

ORMs suck, but raw SQL embedded in your code sucks too.

This might be good time to plug my TypeScript non-ORM: https://jawj.github.io/zapatos/.

I should say I also like what I've seen of https://kysely.dev/ and https://pgtyped.dev/.

Thank you for suggestions they helped me finding what I was looking for. I will either pick kysely or https://pgtyped.dev/, but first I will do some tests. Thanks!

I would instead rely on code generation like https://github.com/adelsz/pgtyped, because the embedded type-safe SQL will never fully cover all the features of vanilla SQL, for example Common Table Expression (CTE), window functions etc.

There's pgtyped, which I believe does almost the same as sqlc

For Postgres there is https://github.com/adelsz/pgtyped, sounds pretty much like what you describe?

Avoiding the cost of learning EDSL that many Haskell DB libraries provide, I found out that only postgresql-typed and postgresql-simple allow to write only raw SQL queries easily. As I extensively use pgtyped for production Node.js application, I am thinking about using postgresql-typed. While I could find many resources for postgresql-simple, the same cannot be said try for postgresql-typed.

I would highly recommend trying out pgTyped if you want typesafe queries with postgres. It's fantastic!
