# SQLx

The Rust SQL Toolkit.
 
 * **Asynchronous**. Handle thousands of database connections from a single thread.
 
 * **Fast**. _TO BE WRITTEN_
 
 * **Native**. SQLx is a pure Rust<sub>†</sub> toolkit for SQL. Where possible, drivers are written from scratch, in Rust, utilizing the modern ecosystem for asynchronous network services development.
 
 * **Agnostic**. SQLx is agnostic over the database engine and can operate against a variety of database backends with the backend chosen **at compile-time** through generic constraints **or at runtime** with a slight performance loss (due to dynamic dispatch).

<sub><sup>† The SQLite driver (which does not yet exist) will use the libsqlite3 C library as SQLite is an embedded database (the only way we could be pure Rust for SQLite is by porting _all_ of SQLite to Rust).</sup></sub>
