Rule to validate SQL syntaxis

Hi! We have received a request to create a new rule on CachéQuality to identify when a developer uses double quotes (" ") within any SQL statement.

We have been asked many times about SQL validation rules, and we would like to open a debate to allow everyone discuss what would you like to be checked on a SQL statement.

Current examples are for basic situations:

  • Using SQL.Statement class:

Set stmt = ##CLASS(%SQL.Statement).%New()
Set query = "Select Val1, Val2 FROM Table WHERE Val1=""SomeCondition"""

  • Using embedded SQL

&SQL(SELECT Val1, Val2
                INTO :val1, :val2
                FROM Table
                WHERE Val1="SomeCondition")

  • Ideally these should be :

Set stmt = ##CLASS(%SQL.Statement).%New()
Set query = "Select Val1, Val2 FROM Table WHERE Val1='SomeCondition'"
 
&SQL(SELECT Val1, Val2
                INTO :val1, :val2
                FROM Table
                WHERE Val1='SomeCondition')

 

All your feedback/explanations/requests are welcome!!
