Gemini CLI Extension - Cloud SQL for SQL Server

Note

This extension is currently in beta (pre-v1.0), and may see breaking changes until the first stable release (v1.0).

This Gemini CLI extension provides a set of tools to interact with Cloud SQL for SQL Server instances. It allows you to manage your databases, execute queries, explore schemas, and troubleshoot issues directly from the Gemini CLI, using natural language prompts.

Why Use the Cloud SQL for SQL Server Extension?

• Seamless Workflow: As a Google-developed extension, it integrates seamlessly into the Gemini CLI environment. No need to constantly switch contexts for common database tasks.
• Natural Language Management: Stop wrestling with complex commands. Explore schemas and query data by describing what you want in plain English.
• Code Generation: Accelerate development by asking Gemini to generate data classes and other code snippets based on your table schemas.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following:

• Gemini CLI installed with version +v0.6.0.
• A Google Cloud project with the Cloud SQL Admin API enabled.
• IAM Permissions:
  • Cloud SQL Client (roles/cloudsql.client)
  • Cloud SQL Viewer (roles/cloudsql.viewer)
  • Cloud SQL Admin (roles/cloudsql.admin)

Installation

To install the extension, use the command:

gemini extensions install https://github.com/gemini-cli-extensions/cloud-sql-sqlserver

Configuration

Set the following environment variables before starting the Gemini CLI. This configuration is not required if utilizing the Admin toolset.

• CLOUD_SQL_MSSQL_PROJECT: The GCP project ID.
• CLOUD_SQL_MSSQL_REGION: The region of your Cloud SQL instance.
• CLOUD_SQL_MSSQL_INSTANCE: The ID of your Cloud SQL instance.
• CLOUD_SQL_MSSQL_DATABASE: The name of the database to connect to.
• CLOUD_SQL_MSSQL_IP_ADDRESS: The IP address of the Cloud SQL instance.
• CLOUD_SQL_MSSQL_USER: The database username.
• CLOUD_SQL_MSSQL_PASSWORD: The password for the database user.
• CLOUD_SQL_MSSQL_IP_TYPE: (Optional) The IP type i.e. “Public” or “Private” (Default: Public).

Ensure Application Default Credentials are available in your environment.

Note

When using private IPs with Cloud SQL for SQL Server, you must use a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) network.

Usage Examples

Interact with Cloud SQL for SQL Server using natural language:

• Provision Infrastructure:
  • "Create a new Cloud SQL for SQL Server instance named 'e-commerce-prod' in the 'my-gcp-project' project."
  • "Create a new user named 'analyst' with read access to all tables."
• Explore Schemas and Data:
  • "Show me all tables in the 'orders' database."
  • "What are the columns in the 'products' table?"
  • "How many orders were placed in the last 30 days, and what were the top 5 most purchased items?"
• Generate Code:
  • "Generate a Python dataclass to represent the 'customers' table."
