SQLDelight

SQLDelight generates typesafe Kotlin APIs from SQL statements and checks database schemas, SQL statements, and migrations at compile time. Its IDE features include SQL autocomplete and refactoring support. Documented database dialects include SQLite, MySQL, and PostgreSQL; HSQL and H2 are experimental, while CockroachDB, DB2, and Oracle dialects are listed as third-party options. The JVM connection overview lists MySQL and PostgreSQL, with JDBC and R2DBC variants shown for supported dialects. The project provides a Gradle plugin and extensions for Kotlin coroutines, RxJava, and AndroidX Paging. Its coroutines extension can expose a query as a Flow and emit updated results when the queried data changes. The Gradle verifySqlDelightMigration task applies migrations to stored schema databases and checks whether they reach the latest schema. SQLDelight is open source under the Apache-2.0 license and has a free listing at free, with no paid tiers stated. Its listed platforms are Android, API, iOS, Linux, macOS, web, and Windows.
