## What it is
SQLBoiler is a database-first ORM generator for Go that introspects your existing database schema and generates type-safe, ActiveRecord-style Go code tailored to it. It supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite3, and MSSQL and is currently in maintenance mode.

## Use cases
- generate a Go ORM from an existing database schema
- eliminate database/sql boilerplate in a Go backend
- work with a legacy Rails-style database from Go
- get ActiveRecord-like productivity in Go
- generate type-safe models for PostgreSQL or MySQL
- manage relationships between models without reflection

## When to choose
- you have an existing database schema and want generated, type-safe Go models
- you want ActiveRecord-like ergonomics without reflection overhead
- you use PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite3, or MSSQL in a Go project

## When to avoid
- you want an actively developed project with new features (consider Bob or sqlc)
- you prefer a code-first ORM like GORM where Go structs define the schema
- you need GOPATH-style projects (v4 requires Go modules)

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: maintenance
- function: orm, database, database-driver
- domain: databases, backend, developer-tools, web-development
- platform: go, cli, windows
- tags: database-first, code-generation, activerecord, sql, postgres, mysql, sqlite, mssql, linux, macos
