Using SQL

Write typesafe sql with drift

Drift lets you express a variety of queries in pure Dart. However, you don't have to miss out on its features when you need more complex queries or simply prefer sql. Drift has a builtin sql parser and analyzer, so it can generate a typesafe API for sql statements you write. It can also warn about errors in your sql at build time.
