Typical question of newbie in node-js: should this be in FAQ?

The question:  
Is there in node-JS a library similar to SQLalchemy or peewee in Python?

The motivation:  
Node-Red has number of nodes which can access databases (relational and not).  
For some people (including me :)) the SQL doesn’t seem human-readable.  
However, number of high-level languages got libraries to interact with databases in human-readable way.  
Advantage of such libraries are ease to programming and unified code for all relational databases.

The ideal expectation (not really expected):  
Creating a node which can deal with databases via web-UI only… That’s the long-term plan.
