Ecto is the official Elixir library that serves as a database wrapper and integrated query system, enabling developers to define schemas, construct and execute type-safe queries, manage database migrations, and validate data via changesets; it is the foundational tool for working with relational databases in Elixir. Note that mix test does not run the tests in the integration_test folder. To run integration tests, you can clone ecto_sql in a sibling directory and then run its integration tests with the ECTO_PATH environment variable pointing to your Ecto checkout. Support for database migrations (version-controlled schema changes).
