What are the best practices for using query builders?

When using query builders, it's important to ensure readability, maintainability, and security. Start by structuring your queries clearly.

Can you give me an example of a well-structured query?

Sure! A well-structured query might look like this: queryBuilder.select('name', 'age').from('users').where('age', '>', 18).orderBy('name'); This keeps it readable.

How do I prevent SQL injection when using query builders?

To prevent SQL injection, always use parameterized queries or prepared statements provided by the query builder.

Are there any performance considerations I should keep in mind?

Yes, be mindful of the number of queries you execute and try to batch them when possible. Also, avoid selecting unnecessary columns.
