## Import SQL files as additional modules by default

[Workers](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/)

Copy as Markdown| [View as Markdown](https://developers.cloudflare.com/changelog/post/2026-01-20-sql-module-rule/index.md)| [Agent setup](https://developers.cloudflare.com/agent-setup/)

The `.sql` file extension is now automatically configured to be importable in your Worker code when using [Wrangler](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/wrangler/bundling/#including-non-javascript-modules) or the [Cloudflare Vite plugin](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/vite-plugin/reference/non-javascript-modules/). This is particular useful for importing migrations in Durable Objects and means you no longer need to configure custom rules when using [Drizzle ↗︎](https://orm.drizzle.team/docs/connect-cloudflare-do).

SQL files are imported as JavaScript strings:

```ts
// `example` will be a JavaScript string
import example from "./example.sql";
```
