history

Project history and usage

sql-lint is a command-line SQL linter for MySQL and PostgreSQL-oriented workflows. Its official documentation positions it as a sanity-check tool that reports local lint findings and can also bring back database-server errors.

Project history

The GitHub repository was created in July 2018 and later moved its main development branch to `typescript`. The project reached a 1.0.0 release in June 2022, when the maintainer described it as stable and added command-line support for ignoring selected lint errors.

Adoption history

The README documents npm and Yarn global installation, downloadable release binaries, and editor integration through external-tool support. The release history shows packaged Linux, macOS, and Windows binaries, which made the tool usable outside Node-centric setups.

How it is used

sql-lint is usually run against files, directories, or stdin, for example `sql-lint .`, `sql-lint create-person.sql`, or piping a query into the command. Its configuration can be passed through CLI flags, discovered as `.sql-lint.json` while walking up from the current directory, or read from `~/.config/sql-lint/config.json`.

Why package nerds care

Package nerds care about sql-lint because it is a small, composable CLI that brings SQL review into shells, editor integrations, and CI-style checks without requiring a full IDE. Its XDG-style global config and project-local config discovery match common Unix packaging expectations.

Timeline

2020: v0.0.14 release improved recursive directory linting and simplified CLI arguments.
2022: v1.0.0 release declared the project stable.
2025: v1.0.1 release added directory-local config support and more SQL statement support.

The README lists editor integration through ALE for Vim and Neovim and an Inline SQL extension for VS Code. It also overlaps culturally with SQL Language Server through the same SQL editing and linting niche.
