SQL Mode, Version 2.6 * progmodes/sql.el: Version 2.6 (sql-dialect): Synonym for "sql-product". (sql-find-sqli-buffer, sql-set-sqli-buffer-generally) (sql-set-sqli-buffer, sql-show-sqli-buffer, sql-interactive-mode): Set "sql-buffer" to buffer name not buffer object so multiple sql interactive buffers work properly. Reverts misguided changes in earlier work. (sql-comint): Make sure different buffer name is used if "*SQL*" buffer is for a different product. (sql-make-alternate-buffer-name): Fix bug with "sql-database" login param. (sql-oracle, sql-sybase, sql-informix, sql-sqlite, sql-mysql) (sql-solid, sql-ingres, sql-ms, sql-postgres, sql-interbase) (sql-db2, sql-linter, sql-product-interactive, sql-rename-buffer): Accept new buffer name or prompt for one. (sql-port): Default to zero. (sql-comint-mysql): Handle "sql-port" as a numeric. (sql-port-history): Delete unused variable. (sql-get-login): Default "sql-port" to a number. (sql-product-alist): Correct Postgres prompt and terminator regexp. (sql-sqlite-program): Dynamically detect presence of "sqlite" or "sqlite3" executables. (sql-sqlite-login-params): Add "*.sqlite[23]?" database name pattern. (sql-buffer-live-p): New function. (sql-mode-menu, sql-send-string): Use it. (sql-mode-oracle-font-lock-keywords): Improve SQL*Plus REMARK syntax pattern. (sql-mode-postgres-font-lock-keywords): Support Postgres V9. (sql-mode-sqlite-font-lock-keywords): Hilight sqlite commands.

*** Several variables have been marked as safe local variables.  The
variables `sql-product', `sql-user', `sql-server', `sql-database' and
`sql-port' can now be safely used as local variables.

*** Added ability to login with a port on MySQL.
The custom variable `sql-port' can be specified for connection to
MySQL servers.

*** Command continuation prompts in SQL interactive mode are suppressed.
Multiple line commands in SQL interactive mode, generate command
continuation prompts which needlessly confuse the output.  These
prompts are now filtered out from the output.  This change impacts

*** `sql-dialect' is a synonym for `sql-product'.

*** Added ability to login with a port on MySQL.
The custom variable `sql-port' can be specified for connection to
MySQL servers.

*** Dynamic selection of product in an SQL interactive session.
If you use `sql-product-interactive' to start an SQL interactive
session it uses the current value of `sql-product'.  Preceding the
invocation with C-u will force it to ask for the product before
creating the session.

*** Renaming a SQL interactive buffer when it is created.
Prefixing the SQL interactive commands (`sql-sqlite', `sql-postgres',
`sql-mysql', etc.) with C-u will force a new interactive session to be
started and will prompt for the new name.  This will reduce the need
for `sql-rename-buffer' is most common use cases.

*** Command continuation prompts in SQL interactive mode are suppressed.
Multiple line commands in SQL interactive mode, generate command
continuation prompts which needlessly confuse the output.  These
prompts are now filtered out from the output.  This change impacts
