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 @types/pg, Sequelize offers a higher-level abstraction and includes built-in support for model definition and migrations, making it more suitable for complex applications with extensive database interactions.
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, including PostgreSQL, and provides a more feature-rich abstraction over the database compared to @types/pg. It includes features like data-mapper ORM, repository and entity manager, and supports automatic schema generation, migrations, and much more.
Knex.js is a SQL query builder for PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite3, designed to be flexible, portable, and fun to use. It provides features for building complex SQL queries, schema migrations, and seed files. While @types/pg provides type definitions for using pg in TypeScript projects, Knex offers a more versatile query building capability, making it a good choice for applications that require complex queries without the need for an ORM.
