@prisma/engines

⚠️ Warning: This package is intended for Prisma's internal use. Its release cycle does not follow SemVer, which means we might release breaking changes (change APIs, remove functionality) without any prior warning.

The postinstall hook of this package downloads all Prisma engines available for the current platform, namely the Query Engine and the Schema Engine from the Prisma CDN.

The engines version to be downloaded is directly determined by the version of its @prisma/engines-version dependency.

You should probably not use this package directly, but instead use one of these:

• prisma CLI
• @prisma/client

sequelize

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

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

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.
