Sequel is a Ruby database toolkit providing a concise DSL for SQL query construction, schema management, and a comprehensive ORM layer for mapping records to Ruby objects. It supports many databases including PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, and Oracle, with advanced features like prepared statements, sharding, and primary/replica configurations.

Use cases

• query a SQL database from Ruby without raw SQL strings
• map database rows to Ruby objects with an ORM
• run database migrations and schema changes
• set up primary/replica database configurations or sharding
• use prepared statements and bound variables in Ruby
• connect to PostgreSQL, MySQL, or SQLite from a Ruby app

When to choose

• you want a lightweight, fast Ruby ORM alternative to ActiveRecord
• you need fine-grained SQL query construction with a Ruby DSL
• you need advanced database features like savepoints, two-phase commit, or sharding
• you want a toolkit that works both as a query builder and a full ORM

When to avoid

• you are not working in Ruby
• you need a NoSQL or document database mapper
• your team already standardizes on ActiveRecord and its ecosystem
