I'm not talking full blown ORM here, not a fan of those either. I'm talking about some light weight wrapper that basically just assembles SQL statements for you, while giving you just a little more type safety and automatic protection against SQL injection, and not sacrificing any performance. I'm coming from the JVM world, where Jooq and Exposed are examples of that kind of thing.
I'm currently using SQLx which you write raw queries in and it validates them against a currently-running db, using the description of the tables to build the typing for the return type instead of relying on the user. It makes it pretty hard to write anything that supports injection
Oh, that sounds really cool! At what time does this validation happen? While you code, or later at build time?
Happens at compile time! It's relatively quick. You can also run a command to write the query results to file for offline type checking which is mostly useful for CI
