The Epic Stack by Kent C. Dodds
Have you tried Slonik (https://github.com/gajus/slonik)? It won't generate types from queries automatically, but it encourages writing SQL vs. a query builder and allows type annotations of queries with Zod. Query results are validated at runtime to ensure the queries are typed correctly.
- TIL that you don’t shouldn’t be generating TypeScript declarations for a distributable library

All JavaScript and TypeScript features of the last 3 years explained
Definitely a lot of misconceptions around how this would work. Just check out something like slonik, https://github.com/gajus/slonik, which is an excellent implementation.
The example you gave actually isn't valid, because what you're doing is generating SQL dynamically, and that doesn't work the way prepared statements work. That is, you can't have a prepared statement like "select foo from bar where zed = ? order by ? asc", because with prepared statements the question marks can only substitute for VALUES, not schema names. So if you wanted to do something like that it slonik, it would fail. With slonik you CAN do dynamic SQL, that is guaranteed to be safe and checked at compile time with TypeScript, because you can nest SQL tagged template. That is you can do this:
const colToSortBy = useFoo ? sql`foo` : sql`bar`; -
Working with TypeORM 0.3x with Nestjs - I wasn't aware so many people were facing issues with it
In general with ORMs, you will face a problem in one way or another. I ended up simply using https://github.com/gajus/slonik and https://github.com/amacneil/dbmate for migrations. My life is way much better since then.

Kysely: TypeScript SQL Query Builder
Glad to see this posted. I totally agree - I think Kysely is a cool project but I do think query builders ARE generally an anti-pattern.
I'm a huge fan of slonik, https://github.com/gajus/slonik#readme, which uses template strings for SQL and has recently come a long way with its strong typing support.
This blog post by the author of slonik outlines why he thinks query builders are anti-pattern, https://gajus.medium.com/stop-using-knex-js-and-earn-30-bf41.... No, I'm not him, but I strongly agree with most of his opinions here.
I think this is a really cool project, but for most use cases (not all, but most) I strongly believe query builders are an anti-pattern. I could go over the reasons, but when I saw this blog post, https://gajus.medium.com/stop-using-knex-js-and-earn-30-bf41..., from the author of slonik years ago I had a eureka moment, and it explains the reasoning better than I could.
Template strings in TypeScript allow you to safely write SQL directly, still with type checking: https://github.com/gajus/slonik#readme

This package is so underrated.
After that I moved to query builders exclusively for a couple of years. I used knex a lot, then I started using slonik, which was a huge improvement over knex.
