SQLBraid is a TypeScript library that lets you write raw SQL in tagged templates with MyBatis-style dynamic conditions inside SQL comments, while safely binding parameters across six database dialects. It provides a unified execution layer over heterogeneous JS drivers (pg, mysql2, oracledb, tedious, node:sqlite) and supports typed results and Standard Schema validation. It's interesting for teams that prefer hand-written SQL over ORMs but still want reusable dynamic filters and cross-database portability.

Target audience: backend developers, full-stack developers, data engineers
