## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: database-driver, database, orm
- domain: databases, backend, web-development, developer-tools
- platform: rust, cross-platform
- tags: async, sql, postgresql, mysql, sqlite, compile-time-checked-queries, tokio, pure-rust
