Subject: Special SQL mode?
Date: Tue, 20 Nov 2012 21:29:09 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <155DEC68569B714B86C2C7075F5EDA9828D38354@DAKIYA1.pegasus.local> (raw)

I work with a non-standard variant of SQL. (Don't ask.) I have, accordingly, a non-standard variant of SQL mode, defined via `(define-derived-mode pp-sql-mode sql-mode "PP sql" ...)'.

The stock SQL mode entry has been replaced in auto-mode-alist by `("\\.sql\\'" . pp-sql-mode)'. There is no other even remotely SQL-ish entry in auto-mode-alist. The variable  magic-mode-alist  is NIL, and there are no local file variables. Finally, there is no '#!'.

Nonetheless, my *.sql files automatically get SQL[ANSI] mode.

If the info about Choosing Major Modes is right, then I should not (if I'm smart enough to understand it). Apparently I'm not. Does anyone have a hint about what I might have missed?

Thanks.
