Can VIM autoindent SQL?

Question

" SQL Statement indentation good practice " appears to be the accepted format for writing SQL blocks.

Is there a Vim indent/syntax file that would adhere to this standard, or at least be close?

Currently my Vim left alights pretty much everything and only indents certain keywords.

Answer 1

By installing the python module sqlparse , which makes the sqlformat command available in your terminal.

pip install sqlparse

from vim you can use

:%!sqlformat --reindent --keywords upper --identifiers lower -

in order to attach a shortcut ,pt I added following configuration to my .vimrc config file:

autocmd FileType sql call SqlFormatter()
augroup end
function SqlFormatter()
    set noai
    " set mappings...
    map ,pt  :%!sqlformat --reindent --keywords upper --identifiers lower -<CR>
endfunction

You can customize sqlformat a bit. See

sqlformat --help

Answer 2

" SQLUtilities : SQL utilities - Formatting, generate - columns lists, procedures for databases " has the SQL Utilities plugin, which is capable. And " How to auto-format and auto-capitalize SQL in Vim " is a related discussion.

Answer 3

如果你使用coc.nvim那么你可以添加coc-sql 扩展。

Answer 4

You can use the vim-autoformat plugin:

• Install vim-autoformat with your favourite plugin-manager (I prefer lightweight vim-plug )
• Install sqlparse with pip
• Add the following lines to your vim/nvim config

noremap <F3> :Autoformat<CR>
let g:formatdef_sql = '"sqlformat --reindent --keywords upper - identifiers lower -"'
let g:formatters_sql = ['sql']

If you see this message: vim has no support for python , you should rebuild your vim with python support or install python-client for neovim

Answer 5

Like Valerio's answer, I recommend using sqlformat albiet with Vim's builtin formatprg , which is gq by default.

setlocal formatprg=sqlformat\ --reindent\ --keywords\ upper\ --identifiers\ lower\ -

I have the line above under my ~/.vim/after/ftplugin/sql.vim file.

This allows you to use Vim's builtin gq against any selection, or against known Vim's objects within sql, or simply gggqG to reindent the entire buffer.
