When using raw SQL in strings, I really miss the automatic formatting that is provided for HTML, TSX and TS with prettier.

Raw SQL query strings also do not compose well and I miss auto completion when writing them (yes, I'm a spoiled kid after so much Typescript usage).

As with everybody else, I didn't like existing ORM/builder approaches, so I built and use my own with type-inference: https://github.com/hoeck/typesafe-query-builder. Any feedback would be great because I have the gut feeling that this one has gone way too far on the type astronaut side of things.




You should be able to do this with IntelliJ e.g. where you can inject a language into a string. This is quite handy as you can reformat and open the string in a separate editor if needed.

The caveat is that it does not work well if you are composing the SQL queries from multiple small parts.

I suppose that other editors or IDE can do similar things.
