Drizzle Cheat Sheet

Core Philosophy

1. Optimize for syntax recall — Cheat sheets should help you write the right schema or query shape quickly.
2. Keep schema and query sections distinct — Engineers often need one or the other fast.
3. Include workflow commands — Drizzle use is not only code syntax; drizzle-kit commands matter too.
4. Prefer concise examples over explanation — This is reference material, not ORM theory.
5. Show TypeScript-friendly patterns — Drizzle’s value comes from explicit schema and strong typing.
