Must-share information (formatted with [Markdown](https://commonmark.org/help/)):

- which versions are you using (SonarQube, Scanner, Plugin, and any relevant extension)
  - Developer edition, version 9.0.1

- what are you trying to achieve
  - Scan SQL scripts in JS files
  - Our JS files need to run knex scripts to make updates in our SQL databases, and such updates were written in SQL
  - We would like to know whether (and how) SonarQube can scan SQL scripts inside “.js” files please

- what have you tried so far to achieve this
  - added “sql” as suffix to PL/SQL and “.sql” to “T-SQL” but no luck

Thank you

Hi,

In general, cross-language analysis within files is very much the exception rather than the rule. And it’s simply not available for SQL inside of `.js` files.
