  • AI Assistance Updated

    AKML SQL can use an AI model of your choice to write, explain, fix, and tune SQL. Every AI suggestion is shown for review first — nothing is applied or executed without your confirmation.

  • Connecting to SQL Server Updated

    AKML SQL works with the connection your query window already uses. Connect in SSMS the way you normally do, and AKML SQL picks up the active connection, loads the database schema, and starts offering…

  • Formatting SQL Updated

    AKML SQL reformats T-SQL according to a formatting style. It fixes indentation, line breaks, commas, keyword casing, and more — without changing what the query does. If the formatter cannot prove the…

  • Getting Started Updated

    AKML SQL is a SQL development plugin for SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) 22. It adds IntelliSense, SQL formatting, static code analysis, refactoring, snippets, query history, and optional AI…

  • IntelliSense Updated

    AKML SQL replaces the built-in completion list with a schema-aware IntelliSense engine. It reads your actual database, so suggestions match your tables, columns, and aliases — not just keywords.

  • Options New

    Every AKML SQL setting lives in one Options window. This page walks through it page by page, in the order the pages appear in the window.

  • Refactoring Updated

    Refactoring rewrites your SQL into a cleaner or safer shape without changing what it does. AKML SQL offers schema-aware operations such as Smart Rename, plus a set of quick text-level rewrites. Find…

  • Set up the AKML browser workspace New

    AKML provides a browser workspace for SQL Server and PostgreSQL. The browser is the editor; a connected AKML engine handles database access. The SSMS 22 extension is the separate desktop experience…

  • Snippets Updated

    Snippets are reusable SQL templates. Type a short code, press Tab, and the full template expands in the editor with placeholders you can tab through and fill in.

  • SQL History Updated

    AKML SQL records every query you execute — automatically, without you saving anything. The history is crash-safe: if SSMS closes unexpectedly, your executed queries are still there on the next start.

  • Static Code Analysis Updated

    AKML SQL checks your T-SQL for problems as you type and when you save. It ships with more than 130 rules, grouped into 8 categories.

  • Troubleshooting Updated

    Most problems come down to a stale IDE cache, a stopped engine process, or a missing setting. Work through the sections below in order.

  • Formatter Reference Updated

    The SQL formatter rewrites T-SQL text according to a formatting profile (.akmlstyle), preserving semantic equivalence. It runs as part of the out-of-process Engine and is invoked via the IPC API.

  • Static Code Analysis Rules Updated

    The analysis engine ships with 132 rules across 8 categories. Rules run as you type (debounced). A separate set of 52 rules analyses PostgreSQL connections: see PostgreSQL rules.

  • PostgreSQL reference New
