SQL Project Rules

Agent Automation Commands

CRITICAL: Execute these commands after EVERY implementation (see AGENT_AUTOMATION module for full workflow).

# Complete quality check sequence:
sqlfluff lint migrations/  # SQL linting
sqlfluff format --check migrations/  # Format check
# Run migration tests (project-specific)
# Run pgTAP tests if configured

# Migration validation:
flyway validate           # Flyway migrations
# OR: liquibase validate  # Liquibase migrations

SQL Configuration

CRITICAL: Use modern SQL standards with linting and testing.

• Standard: SQL:2016 or later
• Linter: SQLFluff or SQL Lint
• Testing: pgTAP (PostgreSQL), utPLSQL (Oracle), tSQLt (SQL Server)
• Version Control: All DDL and migrations tracked

Code Quality Standards

Mandatory Quality Checks

CRITICAL: After implementing ANY change, you MUST run these commands in order.

IMPORTANT: These commands MUST match your GitHub Actions workflows to prevent CI/CD failures!

# Pre-Commit Checklist (MUST match .github/workflows/*.yml)

# 1. Format check (matches workflow)
sqlfluff format --check .

# 2. Lint (MUST pass with no warnings - matches workflow)
sqlfluff lint .

# 3. Run all tests (MUST pass 100% - matches workflow)
# PostgreSQL:
psql -d testdb -f tests/test_suite.sql

# SQL Server:
sqlcmd -S localhost -d testdb -i tests/test_suite.sql

# 4. Validate migrations (matches workflow)
# Check migration order and dependencies
flyway validate
# or: liquibase validate

# If ANY fails: ❌ DO NOT COMMIT - Fix first!

Why This Matters:

• Running different commands locally than in CI causes database deployment failures
• Example: Using sqlfluff fix locally but sqlfluff format --check in CI = failure
• Example: Missing migration validation = broken database deployments

Style Guide

Example .sqlfluff configuration:

[sqlfluff]
dialect = postgres
templater = jinja
sql_file_exts = .sql,.sql.j2
max_line_length = 100
indent_unit = space
indented_joins = True
indented_using_on = True

[sqlfluff:rules]
capitalisation.keywords = upper
capitalisation.identifiers = lower
capitalisation.functions = upper

Testing Example (pgTAP)

BEGIN;
SELECT plan(3);

-- Test table exists
SELECT has_table('users', 'users table should exist');

-- Test function
SELECT is(
    calculate_total(100, 0.1),
    110.0::numeric,
    'calculate_total should apply 10% markup'
);

-- Test constraint
SELECT col_is_pk('users', 'id', 'id should be primary key');

SELECT * FROM finish();
ROLLBACK;

Migration Best Practices

-- migrations/001_create_users.sql
-- IDEMPOTENT: Can run multiple times safely

-- Create table if not exists
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS users (
    id BIGSERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
    email VARCHAR(255) UNIQUE NOT NULL,
    created_at TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE DEFAULT NOW()
);

-- Create index if not exists
CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_users_email ON users(email);

-- Add column if not exists (PostgreSQL 9.6+)
DO $$
BEGIN
    IF NOT EXISTS (
        SELECT 1 FROM information_schema.columns
        WHERE table_name = 'users' AND column_name = 'updated_at'
    ) THEN
        ALTER TABLE users ADD COLUMN updated_at TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE;
    END IF;
END $$;
