[trentbuck@gmail.com: RFE sql-mode sql-product variable]

Would it be useful to install something like this?

I have the following handy settings in my .emacs; they might usefully
be included in Emacs.

  (put 'sql-product 'safe-local-variable 'symbolp)
  (eval-after-load "sql"
    '(define-key sql-mode-map (kbd "C-c C-z")
       (lambda ()
         (interactive)
         (let ((f (intern-soft (concat "sql-" (symbol-name sql-product)))))
           (if (and f (commandp f))
               (call-interactively f)
             (error (format "Can't connect to %s databases." sql-product)))))))

Briefly, they allow you to put

    -*- sql-product: postgres -*- (for arbitrary values of "postgres")

at the top of your foo.sql file, and sql-mode will use the appropriate
dialect, and also allow you to type C-c C-z to start the appropriate
listener.

I do like the idea. I'd rather use a tag "sql-dialect" or similar --
product has many meanings (unless there is a special reason to use
product, that is).

I've got a patch that includes this that I am preparing.  It's embedded in a
significant set of changes.  

Now that 22.1 is out, I'll send it along shortly.  Unfortunately, long hours
at work have slowed my progress.  I hope to send it along in the next couple
of weeks.

I believe the safe-local-variable change ought to be made to 22.2.  This use
of sql-product is exactly what it was intended to do.

What do others think?
