The project was initially a hobby but as of this month is my full time occupation.<p>So the plugin is called ThingieQuery, and it&#x27;s basically for people who spend time in Excel and are familiar with SQL. The point is to make working in spreadsheets easier, possibly even enjoyable...somewhat.<p>The database engine that does all the heavy lifting is SQLite, it has access to Excel tables through an adapter layer I built, and it can also call VBA functions (you can call them from your SQL queries).<p>I&#x27;m particularly happy with my own SQL parser that I built for it. I use in the editor so it now understands SQL and can do all the things the big boy sql tools can:<p>- pretty decent code completion (it&#x27;s context sensitive in what it offers, offers keywords as well as identifiers, understands aliases, derived tables, common table expressions)<p>- error detection (syntax errors, undefined symbols, some semantic errors)<p>- function insights (shows function documentation and parameter info while typing)<p>- SQL auto-formatting<p>- a few other things (star expansion, symbol disambiguation, bracket matching, same reference symbol highlighting)<p>So anyway, take a look and ideally try it. Feedback is appreciated and most welcome.
