This looks solid. Does it support static analysis for complex Eloquent relationships yet, or is it mostly focused on raw SQL syntax for now? Nice work!

🚀 Introducing DBStan – Static Analysis for Database Queries
Hi everyone 👋
I’d like to share a package I’ve been working on called DBStan, designed to improve the reliability and quality of database interactions in Laravel applications.
🔍 Problem
While Laravel provides excellent tools for working with databases, it’s still easy to:
Write inefficient or problematic queries
Miss potential issues before runtime
Lack visibility into query structure during development
💡 Solution
DBStan aims to bring static analysis for database queries, similar to what Larastan does for code quality.
⚙️ What DBStan Does
Analyzes database queries in your Laravel application
Helps detect potential issues early
Encourages better query practices
Improves overall application performance and stability
🛠️ Installation
composer require itpathsolutions/dbstan

🎯 Goal
The goal of this package is to help Laravel developers catch database-related issues early in the development cycle and promote best practices.
I’d really appreciate any feedback, suggestions, or contributions from the community 🙌
Thanks!
Level 1
Thanks a lot, really appreciate the feedback! 🙌 Right now, the package is primarily focused on analyzing the database structure and raw SQL queries to ensure correctness and consistency. Static analysis for complex Eloquent relationships (like nested relations, polymorphic relations, and dynamic scopes) is still a work in progress.
If you have any specific use cases or edge cases in mind, I’d love to hear them—it would really help shape the next improvements!
