Re: silly vi question

VIM support syntax highlight, but you might need to do the following if your SQL file has a different extension.

mkdir -p .vim/ftdetect
cd .vim/ftdetect/
vi mine.vim
more mine.vim

au BufRead,BufNewFile *.tab     set filetype=sql
au BufRead,BufNewFile *.ops     set filetype=sql
au BufRead,BufNewFile *.opb     set filetype=sql
