Over the past months, there has been work towards a standardized interface for SQL database drivers in JavaScript, and now we need your input!

If you’ve spent any time working with SQL databases in JavaScript, you’ve probably noticed how each database driver has its own way of doing things. Whether you’re connecting to MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, or SQL Server, you’ve had to adapt to different interfaces and quirks. While this diversity showcases the richness of our ecosystem, it can also lead to a lot of headaches. Learning new APIs, dealing with inconsistencies, and maintaining codebases that juggle multiple database drivers can be a real challenge.

That’s where this RFC comes in. We’re proposing a standardized interface that will bring consistency to the way we interact with SQL databases in JavaScript. Imagine being able to switch databases without rewriting all your database code, or having a unified way to build tools and libraries that work across different SQL databases. Sounds great, right?

Whether you’re a seasoned database pro or just starting out, your feedback is invaluable. Head over to the RFC PR on Github, dive into the details, and share your thoughts. Let’s work together to build a more cohesive and developer-friendly SQL database driver ecosystem.
