Patch by Michael Mauger <[e-mail]> Version 1.8.0 of sql-mode. Simplify selection of SQL products to define highlighting and interactive mode. Includes detailed instructions on adding support for new products. * sql.el (sql-product): New variable. Identifies SQL product for use in highlighting and interactive mode. (sql-interactive-product): New variable. SQL product for sql-interactive-mode. (sql-product-support): New variable. Specifies product-specific parameters to drive highlighting and interactive mode. (sql-imenu-generic-expression): Add more object types. (sql-sqlite-options): Correct comment. (sql-ms-program): Use "osql" rather than "isql". (sql-prompt-regexp, sql-prompt-length): Update comment. (sql-mode-menu): Add "Start SQLi session" entry. Replace Highlighting submenu with Product menu. Fix Send Region entry. (sql-mode-abbrev-table): Add abbreviations. Support of SYSTEM-FLAG on define-abbrev. Support was removed with last check-in; it now handles older Emacsen without the SYSTEM-FLAG. (sql-mode-font-lock-object-name): Add font-lock pattern for object names. (sql-mode-ansi-font-lock-keywords): Set as default value. (sql-mode-oracle-font-lock-keywords): Set as default value. Support Oracle 9i keywords. (sql-mode-postgres-font-lock-keywords): Set as default value. (sql-mode-linter-font-lock-keywords): Set as default value. (sql-mode-ms-font-lock-keywords): New variable. Support Microsoft SQLServer 2000. (sql-mode-sybase-font-lock-keywords) (sql-mode-interbase-font-lock-keywords) (sql-mode-sqlite-font-lock-keywords) (sql-mode-strong-font-lock-keywords) (sql-mode-mysql-font-lock-keywords) (sql-mode-db2-font-lock-keywords): New variables. Default to ANSI keywords. (sql-mode-font-lock-defaults): Update comment. (sql-product-feature): New function. Returns feature associated with a product from `sql-product-support' alist. (sql-product-font-lock): New function. Set font-lock support based on `sql-product'. (sql-add-product-keywords): New function. Add font-lock rules to product-specific keyword variables. (sql-set-product): New function. Set `sql-product' and apply appropriate font-lock highlighting. (sql-highlight-product): New function. Set font-lock support based on a product. Also set mode name to include product name. (sql-highlight-ansi-keywords, sql-highlight-oracle-keywords) (sql-highlight-postgres-keywords, sql-highlight-linter-keywords): Use `sql-set-product'. (sql-highlight-ms-keywords) (sql-highlight-sybase-keywords) (sql-highlight-interbase-keywords) (sql-highlight-strong-keywords) (sql-highlight-mysql-keywords) (sql-highlight-sqlite-keywords) (sql-highlight-db2-keywords): New functions. Use `sql-set-product'. (sql-get-login): Prompt in the same order as the tokens. (sql-mode): Uses `sql-product-highlight' and `sql-product-font-lock'. (sql-product-interactive): New function. Common portions of product-specific interactive mode wrappers. (sql-interactive-mode): Rewritten to use product features. (sql-oracle, sql-sybase, sql-informix, sql-sqlite, sql-mysql) (sql-solid, sql-ingres, sql-ms, sql-postgres, sql-interbase) (sql-db2, sql-linter): Use `sql-product-interactive'. (sql-connect-oracle, sql-connect-sybase, sql-connect-informix) (sql-connect-sqlite, sql-connect-mysql, sql-connect-solid) (sql-connect-ingres, sql-connect-postgres) (sql-connect-interbase, sql-connect-db2, sql-connect-linter): New functions. Format command line parameters and invoke comint on the appropriate interpreter. Code was in the corresponding `sql-xyz' function before. (sql-connect-ms): New function. Support -E argument to use operating system credentials for authentication.

This directory contains the source files for the C component of GNU Emacs.
Nothing in this directory is needed for using Emacs once it is built
and installed, if the dumped Emacs (on Unix systems) or the Emacs
executable and map files (on VMS systems) are copied elsewhere.

See the files ../README and then ../INSTALL for installation instructions.

Under GNU and Unix systems, the file `Makefile.in' is used as a
template by the script `../configure' to produce `Makefile.c'.  The
same script then uses `cpp' to produce the machine-dependent
`Makefile' from `Makefile.c'; `Makefile' is the file which actually
controls the compilation of Emacs.  Most of this should work
transparently to the user; you should only need to run `../configure',
and then type `make'.

See the file VMSBUILD in this directory for instructions on compiling,
linking and building Emacs on VMS.

The files `*.com' and `temacs.opt' are used on VMS only.
The files `vlimit.h', `ioclt.h' and `param.h' are stubs to
allow compilation on VMS with the minimum amount of #ifdefs.

`uaf.h' contains VMS uaf structure definitions.  This is only needed if
you define READ_SYSUAF.  This should only be done for single-user
systems where you are not overly concerned with security, since it
either requires that you install Emacs with SYSPRV or make SYSUAF.DAT
world readable.  Otherwise, Emacs can determine information about the
current user, but no one else.
