    How to Choose Between SQL, Query Builders, and ORMs in Node.js

    When building Node.js applications with relational databases, developers can choose between raw SQL, query builders, and ORMs. Each approach has its strengths and weaknesses. Raw SQL offers fine-grained control and performance but is complex to manage.

Ultimately, the best choice depends on the specific needs of the project and the developer's expertise. A hybrid approach combining these methods can also be effective.
