sql

The community/lang/sql directory contains files to add support for SQL in Talon.

The most important files are:

  • sql.talon: This file defines the voice commands for SQL. It includes common keywords like select, from, where, order by, and group by, as well as commands for inserting different types of joins, and creating with clauses. It also includes commands for inserting the .id suffix, and for inserting dates. The column command inserts a comma and a new line, which is useful when building lists of columns.

    The sql.talon file also tags the context with user.code_operators_math, user.code_comment_line, user.code_comment_block_c_like, user.code_data_null, and user.code_functions_common, which allows it to inherit commands from other files and makes the sql context easily extended with additional functionality. * sql.py: This file defines the context for SQL and adds actions for inserting common SQL operators like +, -, *, /, =, <>, >, >=, <, <=, IN, NOT IN, AND, OR, and NULL, as well as a function for inserting other functions and null checks.

    It also defines a list of common functions, which at the moment only includes count, min, and max, but can be expanded on for different SQL dialects. The python file makes it so the talon commands for common operators, comments, null values, and function insertion are usable, as these actions are defined in python.

These two files work together to provide a complete set of commands for writing SQL code. The sql.talon file provides the basic commands for SQL keywords, while sql.py defines the context and provides actions for inserting operators, null values and functions. This allows the user to use simple voice commands to write SQL code more easily.
