What's Good
Queries checked against the actual database schema. Async from the ground up. No ORM overhead—just SQL. Supports Postgres, MySQL, and SQLite.
The Catch
Compile-time checking requires database connection. Migration story is simpler than some alternatives. Complex queries need understanding.
Verdict
SQL that the compiler actually checks.
