Bump sqlfluff from 4.1.0 to 4.2.1 in /dev in the database-dependencies group across 1 directory

[dependabot]

Bumps the database-dependencies group with 1 update in the /dev directory: sqlfluff.

Updates sqlfluff from 4.1.0 to 4.2.1

Release notes

Sourced from sqlfluff's releases.

[4.2.1] - 2026-05-14

Highlights

This is a bugfix release primarily to change the configuration of how rust wheels are distributed for sqlfluffrs. From this release onwards, rust wheels use ABI3 so that a single wheel can be reused across multiple python versions, and the number of platforms which we distribute pre-compiled wheels for has been reduced. This is to ensure we remain with the storage limits set by pypi.

In addition to this we see two TSQL fixes, including the first contribution by @​simondennis9 to the project. Thanks for your contributions! 🏆

• build(deps): bump axios from 1.13.6 to 1.16.1 in /docsv (#7846) @dependabot[bot]
• TSQL: enable parameters in CONTAINSTABLE (#7843) @​peterbud
• Cut back the rust wheels distributed and use ABI3 (#7844) @​alanmcruickshank
• fix(tsql): RuntimeError parsing grant alter/create statements (#7835) @​simondennis9

New Contributors

[4.2.0] - 2026-05-13

Highlights

This minor release contains four particular changes of note:

• The default render_variant_limit is now 5 instead of 1, so SQLFluff may report new linting violations from templated branches that were previously not inspected in Jinja and dbt projects. Documentation for the feature is now also available in Template Variant Rendering.
• This release drops support for Python 3.9, which reached end of life at the end of October 2025.
• Security improvements that protect against resource exhaustion through malicious queries by limiting total parsed nodes. Users can configure the new max_parse_nodes config setting to enable parsing of larger files in their project if necessary.
• A new AL10 rule requires aliases on FROM subqueries, because omitting them causes parse errors in most major dialects.

Beyond that, there are parser improvements for T-SQL, PostgreSQL, Snowflake, BigQuery, DuckDB, ClickHouse, Oracle, Hive/SparkSQL, Databricks, DB2, Athena, Trino, MariaDB/MySQL, StarRocks, Teradata, and Greenplum. There are also rule fixes for ST06, ST11, LT02, and LT09, better handling for placeholder and dbt/Jinja rendering edge cases, and a new option to fail when files are skipped for size.

This release also includes first-time contributions from twenty new contributors. Thank you all for your contributions. 🏆
