BRbrunoqc¡Jul 5, 2020Recommendation phrase
Also look at https://github.com/launchbadge/sqlx. I love compile-time checked queries (it's optional).
It's simple to use too, async and includes a pool.

What Hacker News says
5 sourcesThere are some similar projects, like sqlx [1] for Rust. My problem with these is that they don't help to solve the actually hard problems.
While nice to have, preventing bugs with static SQL is usually easy to do by writing a few tests. Most of the SQL related bugs I have encountered were due to queries with dynamic/conditional joins, filters and sorting - and almost every project using a database needs those.
Approaches like this don't help there. That requires heavy-weight solutions that are more cumbersome to use and need a strong type system, like diesel [2] (Rust), Slick [3] (Scala) and some similar Haskell projects.
