Integrates with GitHub repositories for SQL code analysis, as evidenced by the build status badge and GitHub actions workflow references.
Uses GitHub Actions for CI/CD pipeline execution, showing build status via badges.
Generates documentation in Markdown format from rule inspection, stored in the docs directory.
Built as .NET libraries and tools, providing static code analysis rules for SQL Server projects within the .NET ecosystem.
Publishes SQL rules as NuGet packages that can be added to SQL database projects, with direct integration via 'dotnet add package' commands.
Displays build status and package version badges from Shields.io in the README.
Click on "Deploy Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@T-SQL Analyzer analyze this stored procedure for performance issues"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
A library of SQL best practices implemented as over 140 database code analysis rules checked at build time.
The rules can be added as NuGet packages to SQL Database projects:
Modern SDK-style projects: MSBuild.Sdk.SqlProj and Microsoft.Build.Sql
Classic .sqlproj: Legacy SSDT projects (Visual Studio 2017+ required)
For a complete list of the current rules we have implemented see here.

dotnet add package ErikEJ.DacFX.SqlServer.RulesThe rules are available as a NuGet package that can be added to your SQL Database project. The rules will run during build, and report any issues in the Error List window.
You can read more about using and customizing the rules in the docs here
You can download and manually use the rules with Visual Studio and "classic" SQL Database projects, as described in my blog post here.
This repository also contains a .NET command line tool that uses the rule set.
You can use it to analyze SQL scripts or SQL Database projects and output the results in a variety of formats, including XML and JSON.
You can also use the tool as an MCP Server with GitHub Copilot in VS Code and Visual Studio, allowing you to get feedback on your SQL code using GitHub Copilot Chat.
