# Drizzle

Tool · [Standard tools and platforms](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/tools)

Also called: Drizzle ORM, drizzle-orm, Drizel

An [open-source](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/open-source) [TypeScript](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/typescript) library for working with [SQL](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/database) databases such as [PostgreSQL](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/postgresql) and [SQLite](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/sqlite). [Developers](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/software-engineer) describe tables in code and query them with checked types.

**For example:** A [developer](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/software-engineer) defines the users table in Drizzle, and [TypeScript](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/typescript) [flags](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/feature-flag) any query that uses a column that does not exist.
