FastQueryBuilder vs. SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) vs. dbExpress Drivers vs. django-mysql Comparison Chart

SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) transforms database development by introducing a ubiquitous, declarative model that spans all the phases of database development inside Visual Studio. You can use SSDT Transact-SQL design capabilities to build, debug, maintain, and refactor databases. You can work with a database project, or directly with a connected database instance on or off-premise. Developers can use familiar Visual Studio tools for database development. Tools such as: code navigation, IntelliSense, language support that parallels what is available for C# and Visual Basic, platform-specific validation, debugging, and declarative editing in the Transact-SQL editor. SSDT also provides a visual Table Designer for creating and editing tables in either database projects or connected database instances. While you are working on your database projects in a team-based environment, you can use version control for all the files.

Django-MySQL extends Django’s built-in MySQL and MariaDB support their specific features not available on other databases. A new cache backend that makes use of MySQL’s upsert statement and does compression. Named locks for easy locking of e.g. external resources. Extra checks added to Django’s check framework to ensure your Django and MySQL configurations are optimal. Django-MySQL comes with a number of extensions to QuerySet that can be installed in a number of ways - e.g. adding the QuerySetMixin to your existing QuerySet subclass.
