Coverage

Supported syntax areas

The current grammar covers the main structures expected in day-to-day PL/SQL work.

PL/SQL structures

• anonymous blocks
• procedures
• functions
• packages and package bodies
• triggers
• types and type bodies
• records, collections, and %TYPE / %ROWTYPE
• exception handling and control flow

SQL syntax

• DML: SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, MERGE
• DDL: CREATE, ALTER, DROP, constraints, storage clauses
• joins, ordering, grouping, predicates, and common modifiers

Literals and expressions

• single-quoted strings
• q-quote strings
• national character strings
• numeric literals
• bind variables and substitution variables

Built-ins and runtime concepts

• built-in functions grouped by category
• predefined exceptions
• SQL*Plus commands
• common pseudocolumns and constants

Supported file extensions

The extension currently registers these extensions with the plsql language id:

.sql  .pls  .plsql  .pks  .pkb  .plb
.fnc  .prc  .trg    .vw   .pkg  .pck
.seq  .job  .src    .act  .bac  .bas
.scr  .ut

Validation assets

The repository contains validation examples under assets/examples covering:

• schema objects
• packages and package bodies
• standalone functions and procedures
• triggers
• views
• anonymous blocks

These files are used as manual test material while refining highlighting behavior.

Theme compatibility

The grammar favors broad compatibility by using scope families that themes commonly style:

• comment.*
• string.*
• constant.*
• storage.type.*
• keyword.*
• entity.name.function.*
• variable.other.*

This improves the chance that tokens receive meaningful colors even in themes with limited custom scope rules.
