It works by converting SQL into a C file with embedded SQL, then running it through the ecpg preprocessor\u2014the same parser PostgreSQL uses internally\u2014to catch syntax problems before deployment. The tool accepts filenames as arguments, reads from stdin if none are provided, and exits with status 0 for valid SQL or 1 when errors are found.\n\nThe package requires ecpg (part of PostgreSQL development libraries) to be installed on your system, plus Python 3.9 or later. It integrates well with Unix pipelines and find/xargs workflows, and can be used as a pre-commit hook for automated validation in version control. Error messages come directly from ecpg and include line numbers, though the reported line may point to the statement after the actual error.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need PostgreSQL SQL syntax validation in CI/CD or pre-commit workflows and have ecpg available on your system. The package is lightweight, permissively licensed, and well-integrated with Unix tooling. The aging maintenance status is not a blocker for a stable, narrow-purpose tool, but verify that ecpg is available in your deployment environment before committing to it."},"id":"pgsanity","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pgsanity","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pgsanity.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pgsanity/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-09-20","license_spdx":"MIT","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pgsanity","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Check syntax of sql for PostgreSQL"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":537526,"position":6119,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.3.0"}
