How can I install a plugin for databases/SQL queries ? I can not generally understand how someone can install a plugin ![]()
This page shows the options for usage of the Kate SQL Plugin.
In order to activate the plugin, I did this:
- Started KATE without a document
- Menu: Settings > KATE Settings OR SHIFT+CTRL+, (Press and hold SHIFT and CTRL, touch the comma ,)
- Choose “Modules”
- Check the line “SQL-Module” to YES.
Hope, this works for you, too.

I have the latest Kate 24.02.0 Version in KDE 6.0.1
For me this looks like a bug: With my version there is this file installed:
/usr/lib/qt/plugins/ktexteditor/katesqlplugin.so
Looking at the newer version from ARCH, I don’t find the SQL plugin.
May be, it’s worth to file a bug?
I think it got deprecated, I do not find the katesql.so file
https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/kate/
and here: use QT 6.5 deprecation level · KDE/kate@48fed34 · GitHub
Do we have any other infos please ?
