I have a couple of questions:
1. Will I be able to use this in my IDE (say JetBrains or VSCode) alongside the programming language’s LSP? So that this project would only be in effect for the Pg SQL bits?
2. I am a Rust newbie but I’m an experienced developer. Is there any room for someone like me to contribute to the project?
It checks the syntax, gives you autocomplete based on the databases you are connected to, it even supports string language injection, so you'll get SQL autocomplete and checking for strings containing SQL in your code.
I'd love to understand what the advantages here are, other than the obvious one of being available for many editors as a language server.
You wouldn't really notice a difference using this, except your general autocompletes would get worse, and very complex sql might get more correct (I break datagrip's parser occasionally)
2. Yes, absolutely. Feel free to reach out to me directly, or just start contributing directly if you want
> Starting with the 2023.2 release cycle, the LSP API is publicly available as part of the IntelliJ Platform in the following IDEs: IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate, WebStorm, PhpStorm, PyCharm Professional, DataSpell, RubyMine, CLion, Aqua, DataGrip, GoLand, Rider
I think that would depend on IDE support. For example, JetBrains IDEs have a feature for this.
