Drizzle ORM 1.0 (rc): relations() / Relational Queries v1 removed — use defineRelations + drizzle({ relations })

Fix

Before (0.x):

import { relations } from 'drizzle-orm'
export const usersRelations = relations(users, ({ many }) => ({ posts: many(posts) }))
export const postsRelations = relations(posts, ({ one }) => ({
  author: one(users, { fields: [posts.authorId], references: [users.id] }),
}))
const db = drizzle(process.env.DATABASE_URL!, { schema })
await db.query.users.findMany({ where: (u, { eq }) => eq(u.id, 1), orderBy: (u, { asc }) => [asc(u.id)] })

After (1.0):

import { defineRelations } from 'drizzle-orm'
import * as schema from './schema'
export const relations = defineRelations(schema, (r) => ({
  users: { posts: r.many.posts() },
  posts: { author: r.one.users({ from: r.posts.authorId, to: r.users.id }) },
}))
const db = drizzle(process.env.DATABASE_URL!, { relations })
await db.query.users.findMany({ where: { id: 1 }, orderBy: { id: 'asc' }, with: { posts: true } })

Operators: where: { id: { gt: 10 }, OR: [...], NOT: {...} }. Many-to-many: from: r.users.id.through(r.usersToGroups.userId) then with: { groups: true }. drizzle-kit pull can generate relations.ts in the new syntax. Other 1.0 API changes from the same guide: getTableColumns → getColumns, .enableRLS() → pgTable.withRLS(), column.array().array() → column.array('[][]'), drizzle-zod → drizzle-orm/zod.

Symptom

After installing drizzle-orm@rc / drizzle-orm@beta (1.0 line), code written from older docs or training data breaks: relations(users, ({ many }) => ...) blocks, drizzle(client, { schema }) setup, and queries like db.query.users.findMany({ where: (u, { eq }) => eq(u.id, 1), orderBy: (u, { asc }) => [asc(u.id)] }) no longer type-check or behave as expected. Wrong assumption: the v0 Relational Queries API (RQBv1) is current.

Note: as of 2026-10 the npm latest tag of drizzle-orm is still 0.45.x; 1.0 ships under @rc (1.0.0-rc.1 published 2026-04-30). The current orm.drizzle.team docs show the v2 syntax — don't mix it with a 0.x install.

Cause

Drizzle 1.0 removes Relational Queries v1. Relations are declared once with defineRelations() (from/to replace fields/references, alias replaces relationName), the client takes relations instead of schema, where/orderBy are plain objects, and many-to-many uses .through(). During the 1.0 betas the old API lived on as db._query.

Verify

tsc --noEmit passes; a db.query.<table>.findMany({ with: {...} }) returns nested rows.
