| Fact | Drift | SQLDelight |
|---|---|---|
| Migrations | Drift provides migration utilities, but developers need to write migrations when changing an existing database schema. | The compiler validates database migrations, and the Gradle tooling includes migration generation and verification tasks. |
| Platforms | Drift supports Android, iOS, Windows, Linux, macOS, and web through platform-specific database implementations. | The docs list SQLite support for Android, native iOS/macOS/Linux/Windows, JVM, JavaScript in browsers and Node, and multiplatform projects. |
| Reactive queries | Queries can be watched as auto-updating streams that emit when the underlying data changes. | The coroutines extension can expose a query as a Flow and emit updated results when the queried database data changes. |
| What it does | Drift is a reactive persistence library for relational data in Dart and Flutter applications. | SQLDelight converts SQL statements into type-safe Kotlin APIs and checks schemas, queries, and migrations during compilation. |
