    The main limitation of prepared statement is that you can only insert values, so you cannot dynamically construct the query depending on the parameters. For that, you can use a query builder such as sea-query, which should handle that.

    SeaORM or SeaQuery are also very good instead of diesel/sqlx

    SeaQL.org was founded back in 2020. We devoted ourselves into developing open source libraries that help Rust developers to build data intensive applications. In the past two years, we published and maintained four open source libraries: SeaQuery, SeaSchema, SeaORM and StarfishQL. Each library is designed to fill a niche in the Rust ecosystem, and they are made to play well with other Rust libraries.

    Upgrade sea-query to 0.26
  • Introducing StarfishQL - visualizing the dependency network on crates.io

    As the new member of the SeaQL family, it's a stellar example of what could be done with Rust and the SeaORM / SeaQuery / SeaSchema suite of tools. We couldn't be more excited to see applications being built on Rust and the SeaQL ecosystem!
  • SeaORM in GSoC 2022

    The first piece of tool we released is SeaQuery, a query builder with a fluent API. It has a simplified AST that reflects SQL syntax. It frees you from stitching strings together in case you needed to construct SQL dynamically and safely, with the advantages of Rust typings.
  • An async & dynamic ORM for Rust!
    3 projects | dev.to | 15 Feb 2022
    Built upon SeaQuery, SeaORM allows you to build complex queries without 'fighting the ORM'.
  • Rust and Sqlite

    I wrote a first bridge for sea-query to diesel https://github.com/SeaQL/sea-query/discussions/168. With the indications of /u/weiznich I think I can make it better and probably it's own crate. Maybe even reduce the boilerplate by generating the Iden directly from the diesel schema.
