- foreign keys are capitalized:
- you must give
foreignKeywhen using aliases, otherwise it fails subtely. That would be derived automatically. - stackoverflow.com/questions/41502699/return-flat-object-from-sequelize-with-association can't auto-flatten to reuse the database's

- stack traces permanently broken or requiring non-obvious configs:
- does not automatically update fields on hooks: github.com/sequelize/sequelize/issues/8586#issuecomment-422877555
- cannot change columns when other columns have constraints due to the backup table?

- impossible to do subqueries in general. Docs just tell you to use literals. This in particular prevents single query deletes with join as done at nodejs/sequelize/raw/many_to_many.js:Also, you can't get query strings either: github.com/sequelize/sequelize/issues/2325

- migrations. Generally speaking, anything but the simplest migrations are exceedingly hard to get right, as you have to go very low level when doing migrations. Syntax can be very different from regular DB operations.
- no way to do (non-raw) queries during migrations, e.g. to update fields based on other fields in a complex way?

- SQLite
changeColumnmigrations do on delete cascades of other tables. SQLite does not have change column statements, so they have to drop and recreate tables, but they don't temporarily remove cascades, so you lose data: stackoverflow.com/questions/62667269/sequelize-js-how-do-we-change-column-type-in-migration/70486686#70486686 - associations require full explicit index construction: stackoverflow.com/questions/39651853/how-to-create-join-table-with-foreign-keys-with-sequelize-or-sequelize-cli
- ability to iterate over a large result without blowing up memory and without using limit + offset (which is inneficient e.g. when looping over recursive queries). This is also known as cursor or streaming interfaces:E.g. the Python SQLite interface supports this just fine: stackoverflow.com/questions/29582736/python3-is-there-a-way-to-iterate-row-by-row-over-a-very-large-sqlite-table-wi
