Never mind. I have found that what I need is already there (though apparently
undocumented):

au BufNewFile,BufRead *.pgsql let b:sql_type_override='pgsql' | setfiletype sql

Anyway, given the way highlight groups are (re)defined, for best consistency
I have decided to use the same highlight groups as in sqloracle.vim. They may
always be changed in one's vimrc if necessary.

On a side note: I'd like to see a PostgreSQL syntax in Vim; how may I
contribute?
