SlowQL for VS Code

Early-stage real-time diagnostics for SQL powered by the SlowQL Language Server.

SlowQL helps you find potential performance issues and anti-patterns in your queries before they hit production. It provides instant feedback in the Problems panel as you type.

Features

  • Real-time Diagnostics: Instant feedback on SQL anti-patterns and performance risks.
  • Smart Analysis: Deep inspection of query structure and schema requirements.
  • Multi-Dialect Support: Initial support for PostgreSQL and MySQL syntax.
  • Lightweight: Connects to your local SlowQL installation via LSP.

Quick Start

  1. Install SlowQL: Ensure you have Python 3.11+ and install SlowQL with LSP support:
    pip install "slowql[lsp]"
    
  2. Install Extension: Install this extension from the Marketplace.
  3. Open SQL: Open any .sql file to start receiving diagnostics.

Configuration

Settings available under the slowql namespace:

  • slowql.enable: Toggle the language server (default: true).
  • slowql.command: Language server executable (default: "python").
  • slowql.args: CLI arguments for the server (default: ["-m", "slowql.lsp.server"]).
