Knex.js vs PSequel: What are the differences?

Developers describe Knex.js as "SQL query builder for Postgres, MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite3, and Oracle". Knex.js is a "batteries included" SQL query builder for Postgres, MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite3, and Oracle designed to be flexible, portable, and fun to use. It features both traditional node style callbacks as well as a promise interface for cleaner async flow control, a stream interface, full featured query and schema builders, transaction support (with savepoints), connection pooling and standardized responses between different query clients and dialects. On the other hand, PSequel is detailed as "A free PostgreSQL GUI Tool for Mac OS X". Designed for Yosemite. Written in Swift. PSequel provides a clean and simple interface to perform common PostgreSQL tasks quickly.

Knex.js and PSequel can be primarily classified as "Database" tools.

Knex.js is an open source tool with 9.91K GitHub stars and 1.24K GitHub forks. Here's a link to Knex.js's open source repository on GitHub.
