What Hacker News says
5 sourcesIn a type-safe environment I think you should just be able to switch your pur sang SQL builder to another dialect. Because of the type-safety you’ll be able to find incompatibilities at compile time which makes the migration easy enough (ignoring data migration). This avoids creating a weird ad hoc SQL dialect trying to fit all the others in a single API.
I work on Mammoth which is a pur sang Postgres query builder, see https://github.com/Ff00ff/mammoth.

In Postgres to TypeScript Interfaces and EnumsIf you’re ok with a query builder interface that matches postgres you might like Mammoth.

In Postgres to TypeScript Interfaces and EnumsHave been experimenting with mammoth [1] for postgresql and am quite happy with how close it is to actual SQL.
