## What it is
A CLI tool that generates TypeORM entity models from an existing database schema. It supports SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, Oracle, and SQLite and offers both an interactive wizard and command-line parameters.

## Use cases
- generate TypeORM entities from an existing database
- reverse-engineer a database schema into TypeScript models
- scaffold ORM models for a legacy MySQL database
- create TypeORM models from a PostgreSQL schema
- bootstrap a TypeORM project from an existing SQL Server database
- convert database tables into entity classes with relations

## When to choose
- you have an existing relational database and want to adopt TypeORM without writing entities by hand
- you need to scaffold models including relations from a live schema
- you want a quick interactive wizard or scriptable CLI for model generation

## When to avoid
- you are starting a new project with no existing database (write entities directly instead)
- you need a tool under active development - the project is in maintenance mode
- you use a non-relational or unsupported database engine
- you use an ORM other than TypeORM
