sqlc

Purpose: sqlc generates fully type-safe, idiomatic code from SQL queries.
Workflow: Users write SQL queries, run sqlc to generate code with type-safe interfaces, then call the generated methods from application code.
Supported databases: The documented language support matrix covers MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite.
Languages: The official language matrix lists Go, Kotlin, Python, and TypeScript generators, with Go stable and Kotlin, Python, and TypeScript marked beta for MySQL and PostgreSQL.
Plugins: The documentation says new languages can be added via plugins and lists community plugins for languages including C#, F#, Java, PHP, Ruby, Zig, Python, and Rust.
Query linting: The sqlc vet command checks queries against configured rules to find mistakes in syntactically valid SQL.
Schema verification: sqlc verify checks whether schema changes break existing queries and generated code.
Managed databases: sqlc Cloud can create short-lived hosted databases for database-backed query analysis and linting; the current guide describes managed databases as read-only.
Managed database limit: The current managed-databases guide requires access to a running database server and a server connection URI in configuration.
Privacy: The privacy guide says the sqlc command-line tool does not collect information, send crash reports to third parties, or gather anonymous usage analytics.
Hosted service data: The privacy guide says playground data is stored in Google Cloud Storage and automatically deleted after 30 days.
Install options: The maker offers prebuilt downloads for Linux, macOS, and Windows, and documents installation through package managers, Go, and Docker.
Support: The maker invites users to contact [email protected] or join the sqlc Discord server with feedback.
Company: The maker says it incorporated Riza in 2023 to work on sqlc full-time.
