Configuration

There are two ways to use configuration files.

Set personal configuration file (~/.config/sql-language-server/.sqllsrc.json)
Set project configuration file on your project root (${YOUR_PROJECT}/.sqllsrc.json)
Use workspace/configuration according to LSP specification

Example for personal configuration file

Examples

{
  "connections": [
    {
      "name": "sql-language-server",
      "adapter": "mysql",
      "host": "localhost",
      "port": 3307,
      "user": "username",
      "password": "password",
      "database": "mysql-development",
      "projectPaths": ["/Users/joe-re/src/sql-language-server"],
      "ssh": {
        "user": "ubuntu",
        "remoteHost": "ec2-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx.ap-southeast-1.compute.amazonaws.com",
        "dbHost": "127.0.0.1",
        "port": 3306,
        "identityFile": "~/.ssh/id_rsa",
        "passphrase": "123456"
      }
    },
    {
      "name": "postgres-project",
      "adapter": "postgres",
      "host": "localhost",
      "port": 5432,
      "user": "postgres",
      "password": "pg_pass",
      "database": "pg_test",
      "projectPaths": ["/Users/joe-re/src/postgres_project"]
    },
    {
      "name": "sqlite3-project",
      "adapter": "sqlite3",
      "filename": "/Users/joe-re/src/sql-language-server/packages/server/test.sqlite3",
      "projectPaths": ["/Users/joe-re/src/sqlite2_project"]
    }
  ]
}

Please restart sql-language-server process after creating .sqllsrc.json.

Connection parameters

Key	Description	value	required	default
name	Connection name(free-form text)		true
adapter	Database type	"mysql" or "postgres" or "sqlite3" or "bigquery"	true
host	Database host	string	false
port	Database port	string	false	mysql:3306, postgres:5432
user	Database user	string	false	mysql:"root", postgres:"postgres"
password	Database password	string	false
database	Database name	string	false
filename	Database filename(only for sqlite3)	string	false
projectPaths	Project path that you want to apply(if you don't set it configuration will not apply automatically when lsp's started up)	string[]	false	[]
ssh	Settings for port fowarding	*see below SSH section	false

SSH

Key	Description	value	required	default
remoteHost	The host address you want to connect to	string	true
remotePort	Port number of the server for ssh	number	false	22
user	User name on the server	string	false
dbHost	Database host on the server	string	false	127.0.0.1
dbPort	Database port on the server	number	false	mysql:3306, postgres:5432

passphrase	Passphrase to allow to use identity file	string	false

Personal configuration file

The personal configuration file is located at ~/.config/sql-language-server/.sqllsrc.json. When the SQL Language Server starts, it will try to read this file.

Project configuration file

The project configuration file is located at ${YOUR_PROJECT_ROOT}/.sqllsrc.json. This file has the same settings as the personal configuration file, with a few exceptions:

The connection property is specified directly, rather than as an array.
The project path does not need to be set. If it is set, it will be ignored.
The project configuration file is merged with the personal configuration file, if it exists.

Here is an example project configuration file for a PostgreSQL database:

{
  "name": "postgres-project",
  "adapter": "postgres",
  "host": "localhost",
  "port": 5432,
  "user": "postgres",
  "database": "pg_test"
}

If you have also set a personal configuration, the project configuration and personal configure will be merged if they have the same name.

Personal configuration example:

{
  "connections": [{
    "name": "postgres-project",
    "password": "password",
    "ssh": {
      "user": "ubuntu",
      "remoteHost": "ec2-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx.ap-southeast-1.compute.amazonaws.com",
      "dbHost": "127.0.0.1",
      "port": 5432,
      "identityFile": "~/.ssh/id_rsa",
      "passphrase": "123456"
    }
  }]
}

It will merge them as follows:

{
  "name": "postgres-project",
  "adapter": "postgres",
  "host": "localhost",
  "port": 5432,
  "user": "postgres",
  "database": "pg_test",
  "password": "password",
  "ssh": {
    "user": "ubuntu",
    "remoteHost": "ec2-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx.ap-southeast-1.compute.amazonaws.com",
    "dbHost": "127.0.0.1",
    "port": 5432,
    "identityFile": "~/.ssh/id_rsa",
    "passphrase": "123456"
  }
}

Workspace configuration for sql-language-server

Parameters of workspace configuration

connections: This parameter is the same as the connections parameter in the personal configuration file. It allows you to specify the connections for your workspace.
lint: This parameter is the same as the configuration of sqlint. It allows you to configure the linting rules for your workspace.

Example of workspace configuration

~/.config/nvim/coc-settings.json

VS Code workspace setting

      "where-clause-new-line": "error",
      "align-where-clause-to-the-first": "error",
    }
  }
}

Inject environment variables

${env:VARIABLE_NAME} syntax allows you to replace configuration value with an environment variable. This is useful if you don't want to store the value in the configuration file.

Example

{
  "adapter": "mysql",
  "host": "localhost",
  "port": 3307,
  "user": "username",
  "password": "${env:DB_PASSWORD}",
  "database": "mysql-development",
  "ssh": {
    "user": "ubuntu",
    "remoteHost": "ec2-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx.ap-southeast-1.compute.amazonaws.com",
    "dbHost": "127.0.0.1",
    "port": 3306,
    "identityFile": "~/.ssh/id_rsa",
    "passphrase": "${env:SSH_PASSPHRASE}"
  }
}

Switch database connection

If you have multiple connection entries in your personal config file, you can switch the database connection.

VSC extension provides Switch database connection command.

Raw RPC param:

method: workspace/executeCommand
command: switchDataBaseConnection
arguments: string(project name)

SQLite3 Notes

If you get error when you use sqlite3 connection, you may need to rebuild sqlite3 to your environment.

VSC extension provides the command to rebuild it.(Name: Rebuild SQLite3 Client)

If you're using sql-language-server directly, go to the install directory and run npm rebuild sqlite to rebuild it.

Linting

You can use lint rules provided by sqlint to ensure your SQL code follows best practices and avoid potential errors. Refer to the sqlint configuraton documentation to learn how to use and configure the linter to match your use case.

You can also use sqlint to automatically fix any problems it can identify in your code.

Raw RPC param:

method: workspace/executeCommand
command: fixAllFixableProblems
arguments: string(document uri)
