What's Good
MIT. Postgres/MySQL/SQLite/MSSQL dialects, migrations, autocompletion that mirrors real SQL.
The Catch
You own the Database interface (or codegen it). No schema designer, no magic relations like Prisma.
Verdict
MIT typed SQL builder. Free forever when you want SQL back without losing TS.
