TinyPg

Lightweight PostgreSQL client for Node.js that loads SQL from files and uses named parameters with object binding. Current stable version is 7.0.1 (released 2023), maintained actively with monthly patches. Key differentiators: no SQL generation, supports named parameters via colon-prefixed syntax (e.g., :param), automatic parameter validation, transaction support with automatic commit/rollback, and TypeScript types. Requires peer dependency pg (^8.0.0). Ideal for teams that prefer writing raw SQL files over ORMs or query builders.
