How can I use raw SQL with Knex in Node.js?

How can I use raw SQL with Knex in Node.js?

You can use the knex.raw() method to execute raw SQL queries. For example: knex.raw('SELECT * FROM users').

Can I pass parameters to my raw SQL queries?

Yes, you can use placeholders in your SQL string and pass parameters as an array. For example: knex.raw('SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?', [userId]).

What about transactions? Can I use raw SQL in a transaction?

Absolutely! You can wrap your raw SQL queries in a transaction using knex.transaction(). Here's an example: knex.transaction(async trx => { await trx.raw('INSERT INTO users ...'); });.

Are there any performance considerations I should be aware of?

Yes, while raw SQL can be powerful, it may bypass some of Knex's optimizations. Always validate and sanitize inputs to prevent SQL injection.
