ORM support for Oracle

Does anyone know which ORMs besides Sequelize and TypeORM support Oracle? ex. Prisma or Drizzle.

uses Node.js it will be the best chioce

Short answer: "options are very limited".

Beyond "Sequelize" and "TypeORM", Oracle support drops off fast:

• "Prisma" -> No Oracle support (and no official plans for it).
• "Drizzle" -> No Oracle support; it’s focused on Postgres/MySQL/SQLite.

Other realistic options:

• "Hibernate (Java)" -> very strong Oracle support (if Java is on the table).
• "SQLAlchemy (Python)" -> solid Oracle support via cx_Oracle / python-oracledb.
• "Knex.js" -> -Partial- Oracle support exists, but it’s rough and not widely used in production.
• "Objection.js" -> inherits Knex’s limitations, so same caveats.

In the Node.js world, if Oracle is a hard requirement, the honest choices are:

• "TypeORM / Sequelize", or
• "Drop ORM abstractions" and use the official Oracle driver with a thin query layer.

Most modern ORMs avoid Oracle entirely because its SQL dialect, tooling, and licensing make long-term support painful.

Oracle support in the ORM ecosystem is unfortunately still quite limited compared to PostgreSQL/MySQL.

Here’s the current situation:

• Prisma
Prisma does NOT support Oracle at the moment. Oracle support has been requested multiple times, but there’s no official timeline yet.

• Drizzle
Drizzle ORM also does NOT support Oracle. It mainly targets PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, and serverless databases.

• Sequelize
Sequelize has Oracle support via community-maintained dialects (like sequelize-oracle), but it’s not officially maintained and can be unstable.

• TypeORM
TypeORM has official Oracle support and is currently one of the most commonly used ORMs for Oracle in Node.js projects.

Other options worth considering:
• Knex.js – Not a full ORM, but a solid query builder with Oracle support via oracledb
• Objection.js – Built on top of Knex, can work with Oracle indirectly
• Hibernate (Java) – Very mature and well-supported for Oracle
• Entity Framework (C#) – Strong Oracle support via Oracle providers

If Oracle is a hard requirement today, TypeORM (Node.js) or Hibernate (Java) are the safest ORM choices right now.
