Sorry for the slightly tweaked repost, but I am hoping to fix this
before I forget about it...
If I open schema.sql I get funky indentation, where emacs changes my
tabs to a mix of spaces etc. I can fix this by running the following
in the eval (alt-:) buffer once I have opened a sql file (say
"schema.sql"):
(define-key sql-mode-map (kbd "TAB") 'self-insert-command)
(define-key sql-mode-map (kbd "RET") 'newline-and-indent)
(setq-default default-tab-width 4)
How can I run this as a hook so it always works for sql mode? I tried
the following to no avail:
(add-hook 'sql-mode-hook
(lambda()
(define-key sql-mode-map (kbd "TAB") 'self-insert-command)))
By "to no avail" I mean that when I open foo.sql, <tab> does its
normal weird behavior of lining up with the end of the first word,
inserting spaces in order to do this (yuck!). Once I run the above
define-key commands from "eval" (alt-:), it behaves how I want, but I
can't get the hook to be installed (I think).
Thx!

Looks like what you are looking for is indent with hard tabs with tab
width of 4. The following in the mode hook will do this.
(setq indent-tabs-mode t
tab-width 4)
You don't need to redefine TAB key then.

Could you show me how to write the add-hook for that? I think that is
where my problem is, not in the command. Yours is probably better,
but mine works if I eval it once the file is open.
Thx

If you are having difficulty with add-hook, setup file local
variables. M-x info will be your friend there.

(add-hook 'sql-mode-hook '(lambda () (setq indent-tabs-mode t tab-
width 4)))

As a final followup: this works great to add the hook, but it didn't
get the simple tab inserting behavior I wanted (still lined up the
cursor with the end of the word above it) so I did the following:
(add-hook 'sql-mode-hook '(lambda () (define-key sql-mode-map (kbd
"TAB") 'self-insert-command)))
And it works now
Thanks to everyone!
