Re: Capitalizing SQL keywords

Hey Guys,

 

Thanks for the multiple suggestions.  I particularly liked David Fishburn's suggestion; I am now motivated to learn Vimscript to hack his plugin to my particular formating fancy....

It's not your question, but you might like this approach I put together:

https://github.com/fourjay/upsql-vim

It has a (potential) advantage over the abbreviate approach, in that it uses syntax to determine SQL keywords. The consequences are minor, but are real, notably that a) It works on mixed case b) it's source is the syntax file, which means no having to worry about maintaining the keyword list.

I'm the only user. The basic approach comes from this group (Christian Brandt post from a long time a go that I found through google). It's put together with the assumption that a user will use a plugin manager to run it (that's how I use it and how I expect many others do).

That said, David's work is wonderful. I use his plugins all the time. His sqlutil formatter works very well (and is quite configurable). I've used it more then once to make sense out of of some unformatted glob of SQL. Likewise dbext is pretty wonderful.
