## Import SQL files as additional modules by default

Jan 20, 2026 

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

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:

**TypeScript**

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