With DBeaver exists a very good database tool on eclipse marketplace. But I prefer DB tooling outside eclipse (e.g. standalone DBeaver).

To simply edit and view some SQL files I still wanted to have a dedicated SQL editor which can highlight SQL etc. and has some features.

Also I did want to have an editor which does support standard eclipse actions, for example:

• ALT + UP shall move line
• CTRL + ALT + UP shall copy lines
• CTRL + 7 shall block comment/uncomment lines
• .. etc.

Also the toolbar in eclipse should not change hard.

DTP seems to be no longer active and there is no simple / lightweight SQL editor on marketplace available.

So decided to create this one and make it available on marketplace. You can find this plugin at https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/sql-editor
