SQL Format Desk Pro — Procedures, Team Style, SQL-in-Strings & Lint for VS Code

Format SQL safely in VS Code — Pro adds the power tools Lite leaves out.

SQL Format Desk Pro is a paid .vsix add-on for the free SQL Format Desk Lite extension (zecro.sql-format-desk). Pro is sold only here as a .vsix — not on the Marketplace. Install Lite from the Marketplace first, then Install from VSIX… for Pro. (VS Code may also install Lite automatically as a dependency when you install Pro.)

What's included

• Procedure / function body formatting: format statements inside CREATE PROCEDURE / FUNCTION and $$ bodies (Lite formats the surrounding SQL only). This is practical body formatting — not a full T-SQL or PL/SQL layout engine
• Team style file: share a .sqlformat.json so Pro commands and lint use the same indent, keyword case, and comma rules. The style file applies to Pro commands and lint only — it does not change Lite’s Format Document
• Embedded SQL: format SQL inside JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, PHP, Go and Ruby strings (including Ruby <<~SQL heredocs and Go raw strings). Bind parameters ?, $1, :name and @name and interpolations like ${...}, f-string {...}, #{...} and PHP $var are kept exactly. Strings joined directly with + (or . in PHP) and Ruby %Q{} literals are left unchanged. "Format All" skips plain lowercase text that doesn't look like SQL (to avoid changing UI messages); use "Format SQL String at Cursor" for those. Every change is shown as a preview diff first.
• Lint hints: 11 rules (e.g. SELECT *, UPDATE/DELETE without WHERE)
• 100% offline. No network requests, no telemetry, no AI
