pspg VS sqlfluff

pspg is a pager intended to be used with SQL command line clients. It was originally created for Postgres (hence the name), but also works with MySQL and others

This. I'd really like to have a working SQL pretty printer/formatter. Psql is great, but lacks autocompletion in several places.

That said, a big shoutout to pspg (https://github.com/okbob/pspg) - an excellent pager for psql (also for general csvs).

Possibly the best pager for tabular data out there is https://github.com/okbob/pspg ; it accepts generic inputs so results can be piped via shell command.

I'm surprised sqlfluff hasn't been mentioned yet. Perhaps not a comprehensive list, but it's worked for everything I've thrown at it. There's an ANSI keyword list [0], and then dialect-specific lists for everything from DB2 [1] to Snowflake [2].

It has tons of annoying quirks, but I couldn't imagine running a DBT project without it: https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff

Move SQL queries to sql files and read from files (Use sqlfluff to lint the code https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff)

SQLFluff is a good CLI tool for this and includes support for jinja and dbt. I don't think there's a VSCode plugin for it yet.

This linter can really enforce some best practices https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff

BigQuery SQL and SQLFluff

There's a SQL parser/linter called SQLFluff that my team uses for our CI/CD. I've made a few pull requests to fix the parser for the particular SQL dialect we used, and my college compiler classes definitely helped.
