@prisma/engines
Advanced tools
Package description
The @prisma/engines package is part of the Prisma ecosystem, which provides a set of tools for database access and management in Node.js and TypeScript applications. It includes the core functionalities required for the Prisma Client and Prisma Migrate to interact with various databases. This package is responsible for executing queries, migrations, and other database operations, abstracting the complexity of direct database access.
Query Execution
Enables the execution of queries against the database using Prisma Client. This feature allows developers to perform CRUD operations in a type-safe manner.
"const { PrismaClient } = require('@prisma/client');\nconst prisma = new PrismaClient();\nasync function main() {\n const allUsers = await prisma.user.findMany();\n console.log(allUsers);\n}\nmain();"Schema Migration
Facilitates database schema migrations with Prisma Migrate. Developers can define their database schema in Prisma Schema Language (PSL) and apply changes to their databases in a controlled and versioned manner.
"npx prisma migrate dev --name init\n"Introspection
Generates a Prisma schema from an existing database schema. This is useful for integrating Prisma into projects with pre-existing databases, allowing for a smooth transition to Prisma's workflow.
"npx prisma introspect\n"Sequelize is a promise-based Node.js ORM for Postgres, MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite, and Microsoft SQL Server. It features solid transaction support, relations, eager and lazy loading, read replication, and more. Compared to @prisma/engines, Sequelize offers a more traditional ORM approach, with a model-based architecture, whereas Prisma uses a schema-first approach with a focus on type safety and ease of use.
TypeORM is an ORM that can run in Node.js, Browser, Cordova, PhoneGap, Ionic, React Native, NativeScript, Expo, and Electron platforms and can be used with TypeScript and JavaScript (ES5, ES6, ES7, ES8). It supports many SQL databases and MongoDB. TypeORM focuses on providing a tight integration with TypeScript, offering decorators and other TypeScript features. Compared to @prisma/engines, TypeORM provides a more flexible approach to database management, especially for applications heavily relying on TypeScript.
Knex.js is a SQL query builder for Postgres, MSSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite3, Oracle, and Amazon Redshift, designed to be flexible, portable, and fun to use. It provides the building blocks for setting up database queries in a functional programming style, without enforcing a specific model or schema definition approach. Compared to @prisma/engines, Knex.js is lower-level and more focused on query building, offering less abstraction over database interactions.
