SQLx is an async, pure Rust SQL toolkit providing database drivers for PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, and SQLite. It features compile-time checked queries without a DSL and works across async runtimes like tokio and async-std.

Use cases

• query postgres from rust async code
• compile-time checked sql queries in rust
• connect to mysql without an orm
• use sqlite in an async rust application
• write database-agnostic rust code across postgres and mysql
• avoid unsafe code in database drivers

When to choose

• you want async database access in Rust with compile-time query checking
• you prefer raw SQL over an ORM DSL
• you need pure-Rust drivers for Postgres or MySQL
• you need runtime-agnostic async support (tokio, async-std, actix)

When to avoid

• you need a full ORM with entity relationships and migrations out of the box
• you need MSSQL support
• you want a synchronous database client
• you need a database other than PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, or SQLite
