What both publish
| Fact | Skeema | sqlx-cli |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Skeema is a declarative SQL-based schema management utility that applies changes expressed as CREATE statements in a repository to MySQL and MariaDB tables and routines. | SQLx CLI is a command-line utility for managing databases and migrations and enabling offline mode for SQLx query macros. |
| Security | All editions can use SSL/TLS connections; Premium adds client certificates, CA verification options, and SSH tunnels. | The project README says SQLx forbids unsafe code unless the SQLite feature is enabled, where SQLite API calls use unsafe code that the maintainers welcome auditing and feedback on. |
| Support | Public technical support is available to all CLI users through GitHub issues, while private technical support is included with Max. | The SQLx repository links to its FAQ and Discord community for questions. |
