[sql] Revise sql-layer
Add installation instruction for `sqlfmt` executable
Adapt documentation to be more like the other layers
Replace wrong default sqlfmt parameter -u with --use-spaces
Make error buffers be reused by default to reduce memory consumption
Change prefix for repl keybindings to be conform with the other layers
Remove obsolete progn statement

* Description
This layer adds support for a wide range of SQL dialects to Spacemacs.
** Features:
- Syntax highlighting for the following SQL dialects
- ANSI
- DB2
- Informix
- Ingres
- Interbase
- Linter
- Microsoft
- MySQL
- Oracle
- Postgres
- Solid
- SQLite
- Sybase
- Vertica
- Syntax-checking via [[https://github.com/purcell/sqlint][sqlint]] for ANSI SQL.
- Format code with [[https://github.com/mjibson/sqlfmt][=sqlfmt=]]
- Snippet insertion for the more general SQL constructs.
- REPL support via =SQLi= buffer.
- Automatic capitalization of keywords.
* Install
To use this configuration layer, add it to your =~/.spacemacs=. You will need to
add =sql= to the existing =dotspacemacs-configuration-layers= list in this
file.
** External Dependencies
Some functionality, like linting, rely on external binaries:
- *Syntax Checking*: Install [[https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/about/][ruby]] and the =sqlint= gem.
- *Formatting*: Install [[https://github.com/mjibson/sqlfmt][sqlfmt]] and move it into your =$PATH=
#+BEGIN_SRC ruby
gem install sqlint
#+END_SRC
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
# Download and extract the binary 0.4.0 for linux
wget -q -O - https://github.com/mjibson/sqlfmt/releases/latest/download/sqlfmt_0.4.0_linux_amd64.tar.gz | tar -xpvzf - --directory "${installdir}/bin"
#+END_SRC
** SQL Keywords Capitalization
SQL, by convention, uses upper-case keywords, although lower-case works just as
well. As humans, the separation between upper-case and lower-case helps scan and
parse the code much more quickly.
To install [[https://github.com/Trevoke/sqlup-mode.el][sqlup-mode]] which enables auto capitalization in =sql mode= set the
variable =sql-capitalize-keywords= to =t=.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '(
(sql :variables sql-capitalize-keywords t)))
#+END_SRC
*** SQL Interactive Mode
If you want capitalization only in =sql-mode= and not in =sql-interactive-mode=
you can set the variable =sql-capitalize-keywords-disable-interactive= to =t=.
*** Blacklisting keywords
[[https://github.com/Trevoke/sqlup-mode.el][sqlup-mode]] can be configured to ignore certain keywords. For example if you use
=name= as column name it would be annoying to have it upcased. You can prevent
this behaviour by setting the variable =sql-capitalize-keywords-blacklist= to
a list with keywords to ignore, e.g.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '(
(sql :variables
sql-capitalize-keywords t
sql-capitalize-keywords-blacklist '("name" "varchar"))))
#+END_SRC
This layer is blacklisting =name= by default as it is a very common name for
column and NAME is non-reserved SQL keyword.
** Auto-Indent
This mode use [[https://github.com/alex-hhh/emacs-sql-indent][sql-indent]] to indent the code. You can check the package's README
to adjust the rules. If that's not what you want, you can also disable
auto-indent by setting the variable =sql-auto-indent= to =nil=.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '(
(sql :variables sql-auto-indent nil)))
#+END_SRC
