SQoL for Visual Studio Code

Formats a SQL file with SQoL when you run Format Document or save the file with format-on-save enabled.

The extension bundles a sqol binary for every platform it supports, so it works without installing Go or anything else. It runs the binary for your platform from the extension's own folder; on Windows it copies the binary out first, because the system refuses to update an executable while a process runs from it.

Settings

Setting Default Meaning
sqol.path empty Path to a sqol binary. Empty uses the bundled one, then falls back to sqol on PATH.

Set this to run a build of your own, for example while working on the formatter.

Scope

SQoL re-lays out SQL that already has its clauses on separate lines. It does not split a statement written on one line, so format a document you have already broken into clauses if it looks unchanged.
