PL/SQL Syntax Highlighting

Fast, lightweight, and comprehensive PL/SQL and SQL syntax highlighting for VS Code, Cursor, and other VS Code-compatible editors.

Features

  • Accurate Highlighting — Precisely highlights PL/SQL reserved words, data types, built-in functions, and thousands of Oracle-specific keywords.
  • Semantic Awareness — Recognizes function/procedure declarations, DBMS_*/UTL_* package calls, trigger variables, labels, pragmas, and more.
  • Practical Snippets — Ready-to-use snippets for common structures like packages, procedures, functions, loops, exception handlers, and PL/Doc blocks.
  • Broad File Support — Works out of the box with all common Oracle file extensions (.sql, .pck, .pkb, .pks, .trg, .vw, and many more).
  • Lightweight — No language server, no database connection needed. Just fast syntax highlighting and snippets.

Install

  1. Install the extension from your editor's marketplace or Extensions view.

  2. Enjoy automatic highlighting! The extension automatically activates for all common PL/SQL file types.

  3. To use custom file extensions, add a manual association in your settings.json:

    "files.associations": {
        "*.myext": "oracle-sql"
    }
    

Supported File Extensions

.sql .ddl .dml .pkh .pks .pkb .pck .pls .plb .bdy .fnc .idx .mv .prc .prg .sch .seq .spc .syn .tab .tbl .tbp .tps .trg .typ .vw
