Its README describes autocompletion, warnings and errors, linting, a SQL parser, and a Visual Studio Code extension, with support for MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite3, and BigQuery configuration. ### Project history The public GitHub repository was created in May 2018 and is organized as a small ecosystem: the server package, a sqlint linting package, a VS Code client, and a SQL parser. Later releases in 2023 show continued grammar and parser maintenance, including support for CTEs, create table options, create index statements, and drop table statements. ### Adoption history The project fits the post-Language Server Protocol editor culture in which command-line language servers are installed once and then wired into Vim, Neovim, VS Code, Monaco, or another client. The official README documents npm global installation, Neovim LanguageClient setup, nvim-lsp setup, and a VS Code extension, which made it useful beyond one editor. ### How it is used Common CLI usage is `sql-language-server up --method stdio`, usually launched by an editor or LSP client rather than typed by hand. Users place database connection details in a personal `.sqllsrc.json` file or a project-root `.sqllsrc.json`; those files can include usernames, passwords, SSH settings, and project path matching. ### Why package nerds care For package-manager users, SQL Language Server is interesting because it turns SQL support into a conventional Unix-style executable with editor-neutral stdio transport. Homebrew packaging matters because editors and dotfile setups can depend on `sql-language-server` being present in PATH without caring whether it came from npm, Brew, or an editor extension. ### Timeline - 2018: GitHub repository created. - 2018: README documented npm global installation and editor integration. - 2023: 1.4.x to 1.7.x releases added and fixed parser support for more SQL statements. - 2024: Repository remained active on the release branch. ### Related projects - The README names its own related packages: `sql-language-server`, `sqlint`, a Visual Studio Code extension, and a SQL parser. It also documents integration with LanguageClient-neovim, nvim-lspconfig, and monaco-languageclient. ### Sources - - - ## Security Notes broad file, network, media, or database tool signal. - **Geiger risk:** blue / medium - broad file, network, media, or database tool signal ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
