Raw Queries vs ORM Queries
Developers should use raw queries when they need to execute complex joins, aggregations, or database-specific features that are inefficient or unsupported by an ORM, such as in high-performance applications or legacy systems meets developers should learn orm queries to improve productivity and maintainability in applications that use relational databases, such as web backends, enterprise software, or data-driven mobile apps. Here's our take.
Raw Queries
Developers should use raw queries when they need to execute complex joins, aggregations, or database-specific features that are inefficient or unsupported by an ORM, such as in high-performance applications or legacy systems
Raw Queries
Nice PickDevelopers should use raw queries when they need to execute complex joins, aggregations, or database-specific features that are inefficient or unsupported by an ORM, such as in high-performance applications or legacy systems
Pros
- +It's also essential for tasks like bulk data operations, custom reporting, or when precise control over query execution is required, though it demands strong SQL knowledge and security practices to mitigate vulnerabilities
- +Related to: sql, orm
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
ORM Queries
Developers should learn ORM queries to improve productivity and maintainability in applications that use relational databases, such as web backends, enterprise software, or data-driven mobile apps
Pros
- +They are particularly useful when working with complex data models, as they reduce boilerplate SQL code, minimize errors, and facilitate database-agnostic development
- +Related to: sql, database-design
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Raw Queries if: You want it's also essential for tasks like bulk data operations, custom reporting, or when precise control over query execution is required, though it demands strong sql knowledge and security practices to mitigate vulnerabilities and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use ORM Queries if: You prioritize they are particularly useful when working with complex data models, as they reduce boilerplate sql code, minimize errors, and facilitate database-agnostic development over what Raw Queries offers.
