Safety
The proper way to sanitize data for insertion into your database is to use placeholders for all variables to be inserted into your SQL strings. In other words, NEVER do this (Python example):
Instead, use $ placeholders (or ? in some databases):
And then pass the variables to be replaced when you execute the query. For example with pgx (Go example):
Integration with real database
Integration with real database is available and controlled through VSCode options:
Examples
Python
JavaScript/TypeScript
Go
Python JavaScript/TypeScript
Ruby Java
Limitations
Semantic highlighting
Highlighting does not work with semantic token highlighting enabled (feature provided by some LSP servers).
Currently gopls semantic token highlighting (option gopls.ui.semanticTokens - off by default) overrides extension's syntax.
gopls
rust-analyzer
C#
Motivation
This small extension is meant to help those who don't use ORM and don't like SQL builders like squirrel, but still want inline sql in their code to be something more than magic strings, helping to avoid small bugs and typos almost instantly.
