mysql2 is a fast node.js driver for MySQL with full mysql protocol implementation. It provides promise-based and callback-based interfaces. Compared to @types/mysql, mysql2 comes with built-in TypeScript support, so it doesn't require separate type definitions.
typeorm is an ORM that can run in NodeJS, Browser, Cordova, PhoneGap, Ionic, React Native, NativeScript, and Electron platforms and can be used with TypeScript and JavaScript (ES5, ES6, ES7, ES8). It supports the MySQL database among others. Unlike @types/mysql, which only provides type definitions for the mysql package, TypeORM offers a higher-level abstraction for database interactions along with built-in type support.
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. While @types/mysql provides type definitions for using mysql in TypeScript, Sequelize offers a comprehensive ORM solution with its own types for TypeScript integration.
