Has been ported to Qt5 and KF5 and does not yet support Qt6 or Frameworks of KDE 6, but it is at least a step ahead into the development.
“The new 3.0 is the first stable Qt5/KDE Frameworks 5 based version of Amarok, and first stable release since 2018, when the final Qt4 based version 2.9.0 was released.
The road to 3.0 has not been a short one. Much of the Qt5/KF5 porting was done in 2015 already, but finishing and polishing everything up has been a slow, sometimes ongoing and sometimes stalled process ever since. 3.0 Alpha was released in February 2021 and has been since used by many people, as have been nightly builds of git master available for various distributions. Now in the past few months, an effort was made to get everything ready for a proper 3.0 release.”

Katesql is a useful plugin facilitating the connection to databases directly from Kate’s interface. It also adds SQL query support and a table output.
Unfortunately, the current version of Kate, 24.02.0 under KDE Plasma 6.0.1 has not even this module listed.
After searching the file list of package in the official Arch Linux website:
It is not even there !!
I suspect it got deprecated, as this commit set Qt 6.5 as the deprecation level.
