Overview

LSP Demo	CLI Demo

This project provides a toolchain for Postgres development, built on Postgres' own parser libpg_query to ensure 100% syntax compatibility. It is built on a Server-Client architecture with a transport-agnostic design. All features can be accessed through the Language Server Protocol, a CLI, HTTP APIs, and a WebAssembly module. The goal is to make all the great Postgres tooling out there as accessible as possible, and to build anything that is missing ourselves.

The following features are available today:

• Autocompletion & Hover
• Syntax Diagnostics
• Type Checking (via EXPLAIN error insights)
• Formatting
• Migration Linting
• Database Linting
• PL/pgSQL Support

Development

nix develop     # or skip if not using Nix
docker-compose up -d

Acknowledgements

A big thanks to the following projects, without which this project wouldn't have been possible:

• libpg_query: For extracting the Postgres' parser
• Biome: For implementing a toolchain infrastructure we could copy from
• Squawk: For the linter inspiration
