SQL is powerful for handling complex queries, but integrating it with languages like JavaScript and Python can be challenging due to an impedance mismatch. ORMs and query builders like Knex provide solutions. Knex, a query builder for Node.js, offers a fluent interface for building queries easily. By using higher-order functions and pipelines, we can eliminate the need to pass the query object explicitly and enhance maintainability. This approach simplifies testing and allows for easier modification of query modifiers. Overall, leveraging query builders and functional programming techniques can streamline the process of generating SQL queries efficiently.
