| Complex Query x500 | 3156ms | 12500ms | 56322ms |
| Mixed Workload x1000 | 186ms | 1174ms | 10863ms |
| Total Time | 5980ms | 17149ms | 71510ms |
Type-Safe Code Generation
Generate type-safe code for:
- Go - Idiomatic Go with prepared statements
- TypeScript/JavaScript - Full type definitions and async support
- Python - Async-first with type hints
Safe Migration System
- Transaction-based migrations with automatic rollback
- Conflict detection and resolution
- Branch-aware schema management (Git-like branching for databases)
Visual Database Studio
FlashORM Studio provides a web-based interface for:
- Viewing and editing table data
- Visual schema editor
- SQL query execution
- Relationship visualization
- Migration creation and management
Schema Introspection
Pull existing database schemas and generate migrations automatically - perfect for legacy projects.
