What ORMs have taught me: just learn SQL (2014)
If you use Rust and like to write SQL, check out SQLx: https://github.com/transact-rs/sqlx
Or diesel-rs for ORM

SQLite is all you need for durable workflows
I don’t like strict tables, because it conflates two concerns, with one somewhat good and one distinctly bad effect (in my assessments).
The somewhat good: it gets rid of most of the weak typing. It still coerces, in line with other SQL databases, but at least a column will only store values of one type. Personally I’d prefer to opt out of the coercion. And I don’t think most ways of writing SQL (in applications especially, but also manually) will ever actually trigger the strict differences. So it doesn’t feel like it’s actually particularly useful.
The distinctly bad: you’re limited to six datatype names. You may well now want external documentation or load-bearing comments in your schema, and your application code may be hobbled, if it liked to infer types based on the datatype name. For example, in sqlx, SQLite datatype BOOLEAN can automatically map to Rust type bool <https://github.com/transact-rs/sqlx/blob/75bc0487eb661da811b...>. Without that, you have to resort to a variety of less-pleasant techniques, such as selecting `done as "done: bool"` or overriding things in sqlx.toml.
I really, really wish they’d implement some form of CREATE TYPE and let that work with strict tables. If I could `CREATE TYPE BOOLEAN FROM INTEGER` and such, I’d be all in on strict tables.

You Probably Don't Need Query Builders
Because type correctness does not imply branch correctness. SQL has side effects of interpretation, and any string/query builder that is not aware of grammatical implications should be avoided in my opinion.

First Impressions of AWS DSQL with Lambda and Rust
I tend to default to as few as possible, which is why when working with SQL and Rust, I almost always reach for SQLx. Setting up SQLx with AWS DSQL requires using the v4 Signature signing of my credentials as fetched from my AWS configuration. I do this work in my main function so that I can reuse the Postgres Pool in my handler without having to establish this connection outside of the Cold Start initializing cycle. That setup is reflected in the below code.

Sqlc: Compile SQL to type-safe code
This looks like a less ergonomic version of Rust's SQLx (https://github.com/launchbadge/sqlx) but a more robust version of TypeScript's sqlx-ts (https://jasonshin.github.io/sqlx-ts/). Sqlc seems to copy the latter's unfortunate lack of inline SQL statements. Still, seems promising.

Build your own SQLite with Rust, Part 1
SQLx seems to do some form of this. though what you're suggesting may remove the build time dependency on "connecting" to a SQLite database.
"SQLx supports compile-time checked queries. It does not, however, do this by providing a Rust API or DSL (domain-specific language) for building queries. Instead, it provides macros that take regular SQL as input and ensure that it is valid for your database. The way this works is that SQLx connects to your development DB at compile time to have the database itself verify (and return some info on) your SQL queries."
