Navigating Materialize SQL

The mz-deploy language server answers questions about an mz-deploy project's object graph. Use the LSP tool for these instead of text search — grep finds strings that look like an object name, the language server finds the object.

What to use it for

• Go to definition — resolve where a referenced view, table, source, or index is defined, including across schemas.
• Hover — inspect an object's columns and their types without opening its definition.
• Document symbols — list the objects a single .sql file defines.
• Workspace symbols — locate an object by name when you don't know its file.

Before changing an object, use these to find what depends on it. In Materialize a view's definition constrains everything downstream of it, so an edit that type-checks in isolation can still break dependents.
